Multiple sources have confirmed to DailyMail.com that Megyn Kelly is out at NBC.

This move comes just 48 hours after the embattled host made remarks in which she defended blackface on Today.

Kelly tried to deal with the scandal by delivering a tearful apology on-air and welcoming two black panelists to discuss the fraught and horrifying history of the practice, but it did no good.

'Megyn Kelly is done. She is not ever coming back,' said an NBC executive with knowledge of the situation.

'We are just working out timing of the announcement but mark my word – she is gone and will never be seen on NBC live again.'

The source then added: 'Here’s the worst part – her deal is a non-break deal – so she walks away with all that money. It’s disgusting and heads should roll here because of it.'

She has $69 million and doesn’t have to work for NBC anymore. Maybe she did it deliberately.

Yep.

Does this mean they need to fire Ted Danson and Whoopi?

25 years ago in a liberal, medium-sized southern city, I knew a white guy who painted himself black, wore just a diaper, and was a big hit on Halloween as “Baby Buckwheat”.

" . . . welcoming two black panelists to discuss the fraught and horrifying history of the practice, but it did no good."

The use of blackface was "horrifying"? I thought it was just a relic of the days when - because of segregation - white actors like Al Jolson were used to portray black people. I don't recall that blackface was normally used as a form of mockery.

Didn't seem to hurt the careers of these folk...

...fraught and horrifying history...

Horrifying. Yeah. Horrifying...

[SharpRightTurn]

Advocating for just about any sort of depravity seems to be fair game these days, as well as disparaging whites, males, heterosexuals, and Christians.

But asking what is the big deal about going “blackface”—that automatically results in a job death penalty?

[fuzzylogic]

I doubt she’d be welcomed back by Fox News viewers. She went for the money and fame at NBC, this was inevitable at some point. She isn’t far left enough and something was going to be said, something most normal people would consider ‘no biggie’, that would inflame the leftist snowflakes.

Let's give Megyn and her agent credit for negotiating a great deal.

This was the same contractual issue that screwed CBS when they cut Don Imus loose in the aftermath of the "nappy-haired hoes" incident some years ago.

Good catch (Danson photo).

The sun’ll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There’ll be sun
Just thinkin’ about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow...

Time to pressure ABC to fire Whoopi from “The View”.

[originalbuckeye]

Meeeee-again Kelly, the John McCain if Media TV News. And she thought they loved her.....bwahahahaha.

'Here’s the worst part – her deal is a non-break deal – so she walks away with all that money. It’s disgusting and heads should roll here because of it.'

No, actually, that's the best part.

Who is the female in black face with Bubba Bill - doesn’t look like Comrade Hellary.

[Steve_Seattle]

Who is that in the photo? Doesn’t quite look like Bill Clinton.

Trying to play down the middle just ends up getting everybody pissed off.

Choose a side and stick with it.

“...her deal is a non-break deal – so she walks away with all that money. It’s disgusting and heads should roll here because of it.”

That’s what happens when you hire a bimbo.

They love hiring the “ bubble headed bleach blonds who come on at 5:00’.

These ‘announcers’ are so stupid that it’s impossible to watch them without cringing.... all that posturing and faux gravitas.
