James Woods, and many others, couldn’t help but comment on video of Megyn Kelly dancing her tail off

Megyn Kelly‘s TV career continues to crash and burn. Along with her self-respect, apparently.

Hoda Kotb, the popular host of “Today,” joined Kelly as a guest on her show. As their segment wrapped up, the ladies got up and danced among the live audience (video below). Awkward!

The cringeworthy moment was almost universally panned on social media, with many calling it embarrassing, contrived and a cheap stunt for ratings.

“Lots can happen in a year,” actor James Woods deadpanned on Twitter.

The Daily Caller’s media critic Ian Miles Cheong quipped: “I feel nothing but second-hand embarrassment for Megyn Kelly.”

BuzzFeed correspondent Kate Aurthur chimed in: “Hoda was on #MegynKellyToday this morning for no reason other than to fill time and I’ve never been so embarrassed.”

A Twitter user called BagLady wrote: “Even if she was a good dancer it would be embarrassing. THIS is why she reduced herself to? Yikes.”

Megyn Kelly’s morning TV show has been a disaster since it debuted on September 25. The ratings have continued to plummet week after week, and are well below that of Kelly’s predecessors Tamron Hall and Al Roker at the same time a year ago.

Ironically, Kelly’s entry into morning television was one of the most highly-touted in years, thanks to her former superstar status at Fox News, where she had been a prime-time ratings juggernaut.

Adding to Kelly’s awkward entry into morning TV was a series of gaffes that led her guests Jane Fonda and Debra Messing to criticize the newbie talk-show host. Fonda got visibly annoyed when Kelly asked about her plastic surgeries, and Messing said she regretted going on the show after Kelly cracked a lame gay joke.

The only thought I have hearing or reading “Megyn Kelly dancing her tail off”, is her doing the horizontal mambo, trying to get another job.

One can’t help but wonder: If Bill O’Reilly had any dancing ability, would he be given an NBC show too?

It’s like watching a WWII movie where the bomber has been hit and is going down and it’s on fire and the wings are falling off and you keep yelling at the crew to get out before what’s left augers into the ground.

I do find it amusing that Megyn basically flushed her career starting with the ambush of Trump in the debate. But a lot of these articles are just piling on. I watched the dancing clip and did not find it to be particularly embarrassing, and the studio audience seemed to love it. I expect this kind of stuff goes on all the time on those morning gabfest shows. Nothing to see here.

MeAgain’s television career was effectively over last November the 9th when she realised she’d never be interviewing President Hillary Clinton...

Well, she did clear a big space around herself. Folks look to be running for the exits.

For some reason, I got a bit of dyslexia when I read the name of the show in this article, reversing the "D" and the "A". A Freudian slip, perhaps???
