NBC STAR ABRUPTLY QUITS OVER MEGYN KELLY
WMD ^ | 2/1/2017

Posted on 02/02/2017 11:54:10 AM PST by ObozoMustGo2012

Former Fox star Megyn Kelly’s move to NBC continues to make waves – this time for one of the peacock network’s most familiar faces. Ten-year veteran of the “Today” show Tamron Hall has announced her departure when her contract expires at the end of this month. Her exit follows last week’s announcement that Kelly would be taking over Hall’s third-hour slot that she has co-hosted with Al Roker.

In a statement Wednesday, Hall said, “The last ten years have been beyond anything I could have imagined, and I’m grateful. I’m also very excited about the next chapter. To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you.”

According to the Daily Mail, a source knowledgeable about the negotiations said, “NBC News very much wanted Tamron to stay, she was offered a multi-million dollar/multi-year contract and she chose to go.”

Tamron Hall is a pretty interesting woman. She did Dateline as well as the Today Show. Her sister was brutally murdered back in 2004 and the killer has never been caught. She ain’t your typical news woman.

The real truth comes out. Her contract expires at the end of the month and apparently NBC isn’t offering her enough.

You know there has to be anti-disparagement clauses in their contracts. NBC may have cut her offer 40% which would still be ‘millions of dollars’ she’s walking away from, but when you’re given a 40% cut that’s a pretty good indication that your career is over.

I’m not saying that’s what happened, just that you never can tell who’s dumping who because of anti-disparagement clauses.

We should drug and tag Me-Again and track her bacterial population to see how fast they spread through newsrooms across the country.

To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you watching you rearrange the deck chairs on your rapidly sinking ship as I row away in my severance package life boat.”

There, fixed it.

Megyn is already making heads explode, before she even enters the building! Well, she’s their problem now, not ours.
That Baby is off our doorstep.

Maybe it will work out for her, who knows.
Megyn is not smart to let the anger keep building like it is.
Maybe she enjoys creating all this drama, and has decided to let the wheels of change just keep on turning.
She won’t be working alone. He camera crew may still be loyal to the gal who just quit. There may be little pranks conducted here and there. Just for fun.

The Deborah Norville Story comes to mind. Deborah replaced Jane Pauley on the Today Show. Some viewers never forgave Deb for ‘taking Jane away from them’. The decision was not Norville’s. She simply filled a job opening, plus, Jane really was getting a little bit plain. Aging; It happens to us all.

Maybe it’s not what you think down there. She’s so self satisfied she might have both.

And don’t forget, having given birth to three babies, Megyn Kelly is also a “breeder” in the view of some, but not me.
