Megyn Kelly will be staying home next month when her fellow NBC stars travel to South Korea for the Olympics — raising new questions about the standing of NBC News’ highest paid star. The Olympics is a command performance for any high-profile star or executive at the Peacock Network, which has paid nearly $1 billion to broadcast the 2018 Pyeongchang Games in the United States. While it’s unclear if Kelly made the decision to stay home herself, it’s unusual nonetheless. NBC traditionally sends its entire panoply of news stars to the games, and true to form, both the “Today” show...

“Today” host Megyn Kelly revealed her secret to staying thin — fat shaming. “Some of us want to be shamed,” she said. “When I was in law school, I was gaining weight, I said to my stepfather, ‘If you see me going into that kitchen one more time, you say, ‘Where you going, fat ass?’ And it works!” The moment, which came during a segment on weight loss, produced awkward laughter from the crowd and Kelly’s guest “Fit Mom” Maria Kang. “My husband does that to me all the time,” said Kang. “I tell him my goals and if it’s...

'Proud Muslim' Bella Hadid has branded President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital as 'absurd, unfair and one-sided'.

"As hard as it is to report on one of our own colleagues, we...

Megyn Kelly’s slot of the “Today” show desperately needs a ratings boost after less than a month on the air. On Thursday, Hoda Kotb, the ever-upbeat popular “Today” host from another hour appeared as a guest. They chatted. They danced. They tried to get the audience on its feet dancing, too.

Megyn Kelly, NBC News’ $15 million woman, had her show bumped on Monday in the wake of the mass murders in Las Vegas — and sources say it’s a bad sign. After a rough first week, “Megyn Kelly Today” was pre-empted at the 9 a.m. hour so that Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie could continue anchoring news on the deadliest shooting in US history. “It’s baffling why they didn’t have Kelly participate in the coverage,” one network veteran said. “They seem confused.”

On August 21, the Great American Eclipse passed over a wide swath of the United States, crossing 14 states, and all but overwhelming the cable-news and broadcast landscape.

On the set of the Today show at 30 Rockefeller Center, co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer were ready to capitalize on the cosmic, collective event. They welcomed onto the set NBC weather anchor Dylan Dreyer and their recently hired megastar colleague Megyn Kelly. The mood was festive and light. Guthrie was dressed...

For over a thousand years Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of triumph, a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeteers, musicians and strange animals from conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conquerors rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children robed in white stood with him in the chariot or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror holding a golden crown and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.” ― George S. Patton Jr. I...
