NBC Touts Megyn Kelly’s Softer Side in Bid to Launch New Morning Show
Variety ^ | September 21, 2017 | Brian Steinberg

Megyn Kelly is best known as the hard-edged news anchor who wasn’t afraid to push back on conservative orthodoxy at Fox News Channel. Her new employer, NBC Universal, is trying to trot out a softer side.

As NBC prepares to launch a new morning show led by the much-scrutinized Kelly, it has unleashed a promotional salvo that speaks less about her news chops and instead tries to unveil other facets of her personality. One recent promo shows Kelly shaking hands with people in a supermarket and at a baseball stadium, and suggests her program, “Megyn Kelly Today,” is “not about us versus them. It’s about us for everyone.” She’s sharing space on an NBCU billboard in Times Square that depicts her offering up a hot cup of coffee. In a video posted on her new show’s Twitter feed, she reveals a fondness for “Overboard,” the 1987 comedy featuring Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn.

I’d rather handle a rattlesnake. They’re less inclined to bite than a pro(re)gressive.

Won’t work; Megyn’s prime time show flopped badly, and her morning show will do the same. In fact, there have been credible rumors that NBC is already looking for ways to terminate her contract and move on. The morning “Today” block is the most profitable property in the NBC line-up, and Megyn won’t last long when she starts getting hammered by Kelly and Ryan.

When she signed the NBC deal, I predicted that within 18 months of going on the air she would be on MSNBC (only) or “spending more time with her family.” I stand by my original prediction.

When more people wake and Dixie Chick the liberals at every level of business and politics!

We will start winning without elections. Then, we will really win the elections.

Besides Dixie Chick them is polite versus the ********, I learned in the Navy from my fellow sailors and Marines.

“Today,” or “Fox & Friends,” or “Good Morning America,” -— morning news/lighter fare shows in the approximately 7-9 A.M. (ET) timeslot.

She’s about as soft as a rusted battle ax with a broken blade.

Put her in charge of parking lot.

And have all those car owners suing for the damage done by the crappy way their cars were parked? With all their other problems, that is not the kind of liability NBC needs.

Some people can screw up a one-car funeral, even if it is their own.
