NBC News reportedly hired Megyn Kelly to take Matt Lauers spot on the Today show, but after Kellys disastrous first month at the network, Lauer is no longer on the hot seat, according to a report.
The puffy profile overlooks Kellys numerous professional and personality flaws and shortcomings, makes a litany of excuses for Kellys failures. In it, Vanity Fairs Sarah Ellison notes that the silver lining in Kellys disastrously wretched ratings may be that there are no longer rumors about Lauers job security.
Upon Kellys arrival, one TV industry insider told me that her hire was all about replacing Matt Lauer in a couple of years. They want to protect the Today show and they will build the Today show around her. One month into her tenure at NBC, though, those rumors have quieted, Ellison writes.
Vanity Fair has noted that during her time at Fox News, Kelly acquired the nickname Me-Again on account of a perceived ability to put herself in the center of affairs. Though NBC executives reportedly believed Kelly had great potential in a number of formats, a television executive told CNN recently that, after Kellys first few shows, NBCs fundamental mistake was thinking that Kelly was a superstar.
Given the fact that, according to Ellisons previous reporting, Kellys salary ($17 million annually) is probably more than everyone on CBS Newss 60 Minutes combined, Kellys ratings are even more disastrous.
Kellys ratings have gotten so bad that New York radio host Mark Simone said NBC was looking to already unload Kelly and may even try to convince Fox News to take her back.
But a high-ranking Fox News official told Breitbart News that there would be no way Kelly could crawl back because, simply, she would not be welcomed back.

Perhaps Kelly should get some career tips from Olbermann.
I doubt Jeff Zucker is interested in what MeAgain has to offer... :)
She is particularly unattractive these days.
Maybe she can join the Dixie Chicks in obscurity.
Dumb broad thought she could take down Trump? What a fool. That’s gonna’ cost her everything.
She pissed off conservatives when she took a hard left, and libs already don’t like her. She’s stuck between a rock and a hard place. Too bad, so sad...
MSNBC deserves Kelly.
Waking to Megyn on the Today show.. OOOOoooo... what a fitting ending to her career.. nuking networks as she goes. maybe she can get Katie’s Yahoo slot when Katie retires.. someday..
Maintainiing normalcy at NnnnnnnnBC!
Matt must be flipping cartwheels and earnestly believing in Jesus for the gift of Megan Kelly.
She was Fox colored - the mainly liberal NBC viewers disdain for Fox was not going to go away merely because she changed networks. She had no or few loyal Fox viewers who would follow her to NBC. She became a minor in both networks and a master of none . And for 17 million per that’s a career ender. Maybe she can join Alex Jones when she gets the buyout. Lol.
Playing to the left is always a sucker's play. No loyalty.
Who is this Bottle Nlond of whom they speak
Yes, she is! It’s so apparent, I wondered if it’s purposeful? A different audience or something.
I see a pole in her future.
angry women’s demeanor is a dead give a way
I apologise for being crass, but that second picture looks like she’s trying to pass a sneaker (gas).
