NBC star Megyn Kelly’s Sunday show will return, but only ‘periodically’
Fox News ^ | March 6, 2018 | Brian Flood

Megyn Kelly’s Sunday night newsmagazine on NBC was originally billed as a weekly program but has been demoted to a program that will air “periodically,” according to a press release sent Tuesday by the network.

"Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" had an eight-episode run in the summer of 2017 to kick off Kelly’s tour at the Peacock Network before her 9 a.m. ET daily show premiered in the fall. The Sunday show was always scheduled to take a break for NBC’s coverage of “Sunday Night Football” and the Winter Olympics but was expected to return.

NBC News sent a press release touting Kelly’s upcoming hour-long primetime special with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday and media watchdogs were quick to notice a sentence at the end of the release.

“This special marks the return of the weekend primetime newsmagazines Kelly will anchor periodically this spring and summer until football season,” the release stated, adding that it is “dependent on Kelly’s schedule with her weekday morning program.”

Seems NBC can't decide what to do with Meagain and her $23M a year three year contract fiasco.

Awaiting eventual total obscurity.

Hopefully she’s joining Brian Williams in Palookaville.

Despite the dead career and embarrassment, she’s laughing to the bank with $23+ million dollars each year.

She committed career suicide the night of the 1st debate.

Exactly, her ego may be bruised but her bank account consoles her.

They will eat the 23M/year and then kick her to the curb.
Then Megyn can go back to working the stripper pole.

“NBC star Megyn Kelly”
You’re killing me with these headlines! Star? Her?
If she were a “star”, they’d be giving her more air time, not less. Delusional!

More to the point, why is anyone who is supposed to report the news ever be considered a ‘star’? Why do you need ‘stars’ to report the news? Of course, it’s all opinion now, but that begs the question of why you choose people to ‘comment’ on topics about which they generally know little?

If Megyn really wants to stay on NBC, she could renegotiate her contract, and give them the option to reduce their level of debt.

On the other hand, if all she wants is the money, she’s pretty much set. Just ride the choppy waves of viewer disgust and studio tension, then ‘reassess her goals’ after the end of the three year contract. Just run out the clock.

Unless they also reduced her salary, she just got a raise.

Good to see she’s bilking NBC for $23 mill/year while enabling FNC to give Martha and Tucker big salary increases.
