Megyn Kellys 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 Callers 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 Ive 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 Kellys 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 Kellys predecessors Tamron Hall and Al Roker at the same time a year ago.
Ironically, Kellys 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 Kellys 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.

Couldn't resist.
One can’t help but wonder: If Bill O’Reilly had any dancing ability, would he be given an NBC show too?
Beat me by mere minutes. GMTA.
Hard hitting journalism at it’s finest.
That’s a strange place to take a crap.
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.
Next gig ... Dancing with the Stars?
MeAgains television career was effectively over last November the 9th when she realised shed never be interviewing President Hillary Clinton...
Well, she did clear a big space around herself. Folks look to be running for the exits.
How the mighty have fallen: two twits making fools of themselves.
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???
That poor guy in the back ground... What is this, why I am here...
