Megyn Kelly has been building a failsafe plan to ensure she can't be fired from NBC News amid her show's tanking ratings, executives at NBC News tell DailyMailTV exclusively.
The former Fox News host launched her much-hyped show Megyn Kelly Today last September after securing a three year contract for a staggering $69 million.
Despite NBC heavily promoting the 47-year-old's show, her ratings have been abysmal, with viewers changing the channel when the Today show ends over to rival ABC's Live with Kelly and Ryan.
Megyn began extensively covering the #MeToo movement in a bid to carve out a place for her show, even covering her own colleagues at the network who had been accused or fired over allegations of sexual misconduct, most notably Matt Lauer and Tom Brokaw.
Multiple top executives at NBC tell DailyMailTV they believe she has strategically positioned herself as a champion of #MeToo in case her show is cancelled, paving the way for a potential suit for being fired for speaking out against her employer.

She supports Kavanaugh so she has to go ,LOL
I watched Megan yesterday because my streaming froze. She was actually fair in her assessments and comments. Megan was overall supportive of Kavanuagh.
You’re stuck with her now, NBC!!
Embrace the fail!!!
Sure she’s pretending to support Kavanaugh. She can’t afford another Trump fiasco — she’s after ratings, after all.
Even a casual observer, (me), could tell NBC hiring Kelly was a huge mistake. NBC communist drones would not accept someone with the stench of Fox News on them.
I am totally impressed with Kelly’s ability to shake down NBC and become wealthy beyond my imagination. I don’t really like Megyn Kelly, but I do acknowledge she has talent, and has worked over two networks.
Good for her.
But the problem is the people that watch NBC are mostly leftist. That was the problem to begin with when they hired a reporter who aside from Trump was neutral or sided to the right a lot of the time. I could never figure what the upside was for NBC with Meagain. Had they hired the queen Shep Smith they would have come out better. I am glad she is destroying them and herself in the process, they deserve one another.
Katie Couric The Sequel.
When will they ever learn.
Nah, she’s just not good TV... she played her attack on Trump into a huge winfall... but was never going to be able to hold an audience on broadcast network...
She played the game well and get paid regardless...
I hate Megan Kelly but this was ingenious on her part and I wish her the best against NBC.
I also view the #Metoo movement as Dangerous, as when a person is innocent it could create a Salem’s Witch Trial madness environment
Why doesn’t NBC thrown Megyn Kelly and Kelly Rippa together? It could be the ‘Kelly and Kelly Show’ and we could watch these two try to out-Diva one another every day!
*SNORT*
What is not to love? She shakes down NBC for big bucks, becomes toxic for any other network, takes NBC's big bucks and retires into the sunset to never be heard from again.
