This.

Whoa - Roker and co. just tore her up:

Megyn Kelly issued an apology in an email to colleagues for a controversial comment she made on her show Tuesday about blackface. pic.twitter.com/0MJUvA1tjZ

Al Roker on Megyn Kelly’s blackface apology: “While she apologized to the staff, she owes a bigger apology to folks of color around the country because this is a history going back to the 1830s. Minstrel shows to demean and denigrate a race wasn’t right.” pic.twitter.com/nt7YhCRU18

"I want to begin with two words, I'm sorry..The country feels so divided and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity and honor..Thank you for listening and for helping me listen too." Megyn Kelly pic.twitter.com/6hHrvZLNvK

Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.

 

Wow.  Megyn Kelly looks really good for someone who grew up during the 1870's.

 

Megyn "Topsy" Kelly: "I want to begin with two words, I'm sorry."

 

And I want to respond with two words, f**k you.

Welp!

 

 

Megyn Kelly expected to agree she is canceled https://t.co/UYzVOHsFMj

One thing I realized tonight was that Megyn's comments happened to be made on the 35th anniversary of Jessica Savitch's death. Of course, Jessica was much more competent in my opinion, but talk about an odd coincidence.

It's all gone south for Megyn very rapidly. Her people blame her pushing NBC/Lack on #MeToo stuff in the must-read Daily Beast piece below, which likely has a kernel of truth - but obviously with Megyn (the woman who doubted Kavanaugh's accusers) it's always much more than that. She attempted to jump to UTA yesterday after being dropped by and/or (depending on who you ask) quitting CAA citing its conflict of interest representing her NBC superiors, only for UTA to turn her away.

A source tells the Daily Beast that Jay Sures, the head of UTA, contacted rival CAA on Wednesday “to alert them that Megyn Kelly was leaving CAA due to CAA’s conflicts of interest with NBC News.”https://t.co/eWrNSDBklU

And now....

Megyn Kelly is not hosting her NBC show today. And I'm told she is unlikely to return later. Here's my new story... https://t.co/t2mK8gpQWR

Update: "Given the circumstances, Megyn Kelly Today will be on tape the rest of the week," NBC News says.

— Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) October 25, 2018

well, her show will show repeats today and tomorrow. she did this to herself, and her ignorance and racism caught up with her sorry ass. Good riddance.

I've never seen one single, whole entire episode of her show and I feel so much the better for not wasting my time.  Bye, girl.

Welp. She and NBC *did* want to attract more deplorable viewers (they seem to think there are a majority of them out there) and have consistently tried to bait POC, females, progressives and Jane Fonda with their lame-ass talking points. Couldn't happen to two more deserving people/organizations, as far as I'm concerned!

 

May she marry a Fox News executive who cheats on her left and right. And may she fill her life with getting the local PTA riled up about 'Halloween costumes.'

Oh, this is ending the only way it could  - but so much faster than I thought it would! Fabulous.

On my way to the #meganiscanceledparty:

 

Not sure it's noted in the above blitz of stories, but Kelly is also hiring a lawyer, possibly trying to go to battle with NBC. Her show got pulled for the week after castmembers from House of Cards refused to appear.

Oh those out of control Hollywood liberals.

 

I can imagine the right wing outrage circuit is already on full blast for her. This may be her ticket back to Faux News. 

 

i wonder if this may just be a reason to get her back into NBC News full time. She matches the political beliefs of Andrew Lack and she was a blatant shill for Kavanaugh not long ago.

Again, seeing as she was dropped from/quit CAA over its NBC ties, UTA won't touch her and she is now engaging legal counsel, I don't think so. There's a lot of information above; read the Daily Beast story for more on her and Lack. They no longer get along - probably for the wrong reasons.

You mean, a pretty white girl isn't being protected by the Good Old Boy Network for once?  Shocking!
