Did Megyn Kelly Make a Mistake Leaving Fox News for NBC?
via Real Clear Life ^ | 10-30-2017 | Rebecca Gibian

Last year, Megyn Kelly was doing very well for herself. Her nightly show on Fox News, The Kelly File, had briefly unseated The O’Reilly Factor at the top of the ratings, and she was slowly becoming more popular with both conservatives and liberals alike.

But The Guardian writes that Kelly was not happy, so she went to NBC, where she was offered an $18 million a year contract to host a morning show. The Guardian writes that NBC most likely thought Kelly had a “rare crossover appeal: one part soccer mom to one part school principal.”

But then her show was canceled two episodes before its finale, and the network seemed to have higher hopes for Kelly on a morning program. Megyn Kelly Today kicked off last month, with Kelly saying, “I’m kind of done with politics for now.” The Guardian writes that it is a “profound misuse of her talents,” and questions why NBC thought it would be a good fit.

(snip)

The Guardian writes that Kelly also does not do warmth and jubilance, like Katie Couric or Kelly Ripa.

........

The Guardian writes that Megyn Kelly Today is evidence that morning TV is not her true calling, no matter how “sick and tired of politics” she claims to be.

Megans a liberal gender biased women who has always ‘played’ men to gain whatever she has desired. She left Fox for no other reason than Trump and her dislike of Fox supporting him further after he won.

Mee Again jumped the shark when she was extremely nasty, disrespectful and unfair to Donald Trump during a debate. She followed that with an extremely nasty disrespectful interview with Newt Gingrich.

She’s been circling the drain ever since then and she deserves far worse.

No, that was inevitable. Her mistake was attacking Trump for no reason that had to do with his Presidency. Once that happened, her downfall became a fact.

Her attack on Trump was her audition for NBC. Too bad she misjudged how badly her Never-Trumpery would play out.

Sure. She doesn't exactly ooze warmth. She's not the kind of woman other women like and trust.

Also, I don't think she understood that the broadcast networks don't count for as much as they once did.

This narcissistic egoist with the gynecological name is exactly that. She is only a legend in her own mind.

Why work there when she could use FNC for sexual harassment claims and get paid twice.

She will never have to work another job following the buyout of her contract. Golden parachute for what won’t last 6 months.

NBC made a hell of a mistake.

Megyn Kelly is making $18 million a year. Why would she think it was a mistake?

i read previously she got 60 something million on a 3 year contract. Sounds like she did great!

On the other hand I think NBC made a very costly mistake agreeing to that
