Megyn Kelly Melts Down

If he's not acting in the capacity of an attorney, NBC can deny his presence, right?  

[marceline]

 

Yeah, the real problem here is Andy Lack. He's a zealot who has never stopped trying to drag NBC/MSNBC to the right. In a just world this latest failure would cost him his job but it won't.

[dragonflies]

Yep she's gone, BYE BITCH

I know, it's the Mail, but:

Why is anyone surprised? NBC knew what it was doing. This had disaster written all over it from the beginning. 

[DRW50]

I've seen some people say that she may have deliberately tanked herself so she could walk away and still get her big payday ($69 million). I wouldn't be surprised.

[Soapsuds]

Either way she is laughing all the way to the bank. I laugh at people ...well The Talk asking if she will rebound after this ......

[DramatistDreamer]

 

He probably won't be needed for MK's issues anyway.  

[jcar03]

 

This was my thoughts exactly.  It sounds like the writing was on the wall and she had already met with NBC about the future of her show.  She makes these comments she has a whole group of people who will just love her more.

[Vee]

 

Nope. These comments make her radioactive anywhere but Fox.

 

She had allegedly hoped to continue with NBC News. This week made that impossible.

[Khan]

 

Fine.  Then ship her white, privileged ass back to Fox.  Back to the dung-heap of cable news.

 

Yeah, it'll cost NBC $69 million, but so what?  As Mama Khan always says, "a hard head makes a soft something else."

[Soapsuds]

I can't believe NBC was dumb enough to offer her a contract worth $69 million

[Khan]

 

I can!  MK is a (bottled?) blonde, white girl, who was a highly profiled talking head on FNC, who clearly appeals to Trumpists, and who (let's face it) looks great in a skirt and sleeveless blouse.  I, myself, would have thought twice before giving someone like her airtime OR money, but I get why, in theory, they would offer her that kind of money.

 

However, as I've said before, the mistake was in believing she could siphon away Faux News viewers, or that NBC News could re-brand her as someone whom 18-34 females could tolerate.

 

It was an expensive lesson to learn, but God willing, they've learned it (...maybe).

[Wendy]

 

Because of Andy Lack, who heads NBC News. He's a known conservative and wanted to erase all of the left-leaning MSNBC shows and make that channel into Fox lite. (Hence hiring Megyn Kelly and Greta Van Susteren, among others.) Alas, Maddow, etc. bring in eyeballs, Van Susteren and the like didn't, and he couldn't. So he probably figured re-branding NBC itself would be a way to do that. Oops!

In my office, we have NBC on in the morning. I never paid attention to Megyn's show except in fits and starts.

-- Most of her guests tended to be low-level newsmakers and older actresses.

-- I swear, that one guy from American Ninja Warrior was on at least twice a week.

-- The best episode was from sometime last summer, when Peter Alexander, Jacob Soboroff and some other reporter/correspondent were modeling beachwear. That said, uh, credibility issue?
