TV news executives are not seeing a bidding war for Fox News star Megyn Kelly
LA Times via Drudge ^ | 12/2/16 | Stephen Battaglio

Megyn Kelly’s bestselling memoir is called “Settle for More,” but the star anchor may have to settle for less money if she decides to leave the Fox News Channel.

Kelly is said to have not made up her mind about staying with Fox News beyond the end of her contract in July, even with an offer of more than $20 million a year to stay, which would put her in the same income bracket as NBC’s “Today” co-anchor Matt Lauer.

So far no other networks have offered to top Fox’s figure, according to network news executives and agents familiar with the talks and who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. A spokesperson for Creative Artists Agency, which represents Kelly, declined to comment on her contract negotiations.

Put Laura Ingraham as blonde bimbo’s replacement. She would accept far less in greens, improve ratings and better quality show content. She’s no slouch on the eyes either. It’s a no brainer move.

Having once had high regard for Kelly’s contributions (and stating as much) lately it must be claimed that it appears she conducts herself as a coy, flirtatious high school girl full of herself. So the ‘lady’ has a new book and wants promoting. Must she do so at every opportunity? Her actions on air in covering her face, eye rolls, expressions used, and body movement are slowly turning off her fans (those that still remain).

Ms. Kelly - has anyone suggested to you that there are frequent times when you lay it on too thick? The world revolves and you’ve not even a small portion in accomplishing that feat. Tone it down, bright eyes.

“with an offer of more than $20 million a year to stay”......

The best brain surgeons in the world don’t make such money, the only thing Kelley has to sell is looks and perhaps a few other things. (Keep your comments clean).

... I watched enough of her the other night to hear her say her book was now a Number one bestseller...

Is that the dog book?

--She was honestly expecting a bidding war with an offer of $20 million dollars.

She was also expecting a Crooked victory and the attendant praise for the large role she played in dumping Trump.

Too bad, so sad.

For a few years she was sharp, witty, and drop dead gorgeous. Not so much now that she has become so full of herself. It is becoming obvious how hard her make up crew has to work these days.

Perhaps Brit Hume should be asked about such things...

Thanks for looking it up. Can only go by what she said (It must have been NYTimes best seller list she was referring to and article refers to).

I always skip right over her show. Tucker at 7PM, Lou Dobbs via DVR at 8. Many times I’ll watch Morning Joe in place of O Blowhard, then Hannity.
