A big get with Harvey Weinstein accuser Lauren Sivan wasn’t big enough to pull Megyn Kelly out of her ratings slump.

Her “Megyn Kelly Today” viewership slipped from 0.77 ratings points on Monday to 0.54 ratings points on Tuesday of last week.

“It’s a possible all-time low for ‘Today.’ It may even be lower than her [Fox] cable show. [NBC News president] Noah [Oppenheim] and [NBC News and MSNBC chairman] Andy [Lack] are in big trouble,” a source told us.

Kelly also appeared for the first time on MSNBC earlier this week.

“It’s unthinkable. You don’t see Matt [Lauer] or Savannah [Guthrie] on MSNBC … It’s not a good sign.”

Yikes.


23 million well spent, NBC.

 

[Mobius 1]

She was peddling vile shit at Fox, so no sympathy here.

 

[Strike]

Good.

 

[outunderthestars]

Good. She doesn't get to walk away from the horrible things she spouted for years....

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Maybe white Santa and white Jesus will lace those ratings, Megan

 

[spindashing]

 

[Barzul]

Yikes.


23 million well spent, NBC.

Lack has been trying to push NBC and MSNBC to the center or center right. Well he's getting what he deserves. Hope he loses his job. Pushed out Tamron, Olberman etc.

 

[Mortemis]

Every new thread about this makes me happy.

Justice for Tamron.

 

[ZiggyPalffyLA]

Well let's see, she spent her first week saying Will & Grace turns people gay, and basically shamed Jane Fonda for having cosmetic surgery, so yeah she's doing just fine.

 

[SeanC]

Good. I hope NBC tanks along with her career.

 

[zero_suit]

Yes! Fuck you, Megyn!

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Wait no one wanted to see a soulless piece of shit racist interview a Sandy Hook truther?

 

[Bronx-Man]

Average Americans Not Interested in Right-Wing Loon That Froths at the Mouth at Thought of Black Santa, more news and updates at 11.

 

[A Serious Man]

Maybe The Blaze is hiring.

 

[clevbrowns94]

Good. We want Fox hosts to have to stick to their Fox News sewer and not use as a springboard to a bigger, more mainstream audience. Hopefully, a big network won't hire someone from Fox again after this disaster.

 

[Killa Sasa]

This is great news.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

What in the world was NBC expecting?

 

[Ray Down]

NBC must be regretting getting rid of Tamron.

 

[Enduin]

Good, she doesn't deserve to be heard or seen by anyone. Put her to the curb NBC and get someone with at least a shred of decency and intelligence.

 

[clevbrowns94]

Maybe The Blaze is hiring.

Well, as long as she is pro life! You know your network is nuts when Tomi Lahren is not radical enough for you.

 

[old]

I want to see her be political again.

 

[backflip10019]

Ouch. That's literally within the range of "left the TV on and left the room" viewers.

 

[Peltz]

Well yea, she's unwatchable.

 

[Trouble]

I love her.

 

[Mutanthands]

Good, hope she has to leave NBC in shame, along with whoever signed off on hiring her.

Enjoy you next job at Inside Edition Megan!

 

[Auto_aim1]

Will she go back to Fox or is that door closed forever?

 

[distantmantra]

Well yea, she's unwatchable.

Her show is also just incredibly boring. She has no personality.

 

[DonShula]

A year ago she had a golden opportunity to cross over after the whole “blood coming out of her whatever” thing. People had sympathy for her. People were rooting for her. The world had briefly forgotten about her awfulness.

She botched this big time.

 

[Dalek]

We can go lower

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I'm so happy about this. Go away, Megyn. You are shit.

 

[SeanC]

Good. We want Fox hosts to have to stick to their Fox News sewer and not use as a springboard to a bigger, more mainstream audience. Hopefully, a big network won't hire someone from Fox again after this disaster.

Seriously, the fact that some exec at NBC looked at Kelly and her work and stupidly said "let's hire her!" aside (because fuck that), do they not realize that the only reason for her success was entirely relative to the Fox News bubble? Outside of that and those viewers, there's no other viewership that's remotely interested in hearing what Kelly has to say and no Fox News viewer is going to jump over to NBC.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

You can't just create Donald Trump and an entire nation of his followers and then walk away like you arent dirt.

Suffer, dirt.

 

[_Ryo_]

Good. Miserable piece of garbage doesn't deserve any watchers at all.

 

[Walter White Walker]

I'm ok with this.

 

[Loudninja]

Very good.

 

[CreepingFear]

Such a shame. /s

 

[Zornack]

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Don't worry Megyn, there's always Infowars.

 

[kikiribu]

I’m in love

 

[bobbychalkers]

Good, Fuck her and fuck NBC too. Acting like we're gonna forget the years of bullshit she spewed at Fox.

*swoon*

 

[FiggyCal]

Lack has been trying to push NBC and MSNBC to the center or center right. Well he's getting what he deserves. Hope he loses his job. Pushed out Tamron, Olberman etc.

He could not have chosen a worse time to do that.

 

[jonezer4]

I saw her show a couple times just in passing and she came off as incredibly glib and disingenuous. Like coming off as nice and likable did not come naturally to her and she was constantly trying really hard.

I assumed my limited knowledge of her being on Fox News was tainting my perception, but now it appears a lot of America saw the same thing.

 

[capslock]

 

[sixteen-bit]

Megyn KeLLy

 

[cartographer]

I say this in every thread but I don't know how NBC looked at Kelly and thought, "Now that's who we want for a morning show."

 

[kmax]

They deserve each other.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

 

[mike6467]

I'm still shocked they gave her a show. She had her demographic, with everyone else finding her repulsive, then they tried to position her as a moderate which pissed off the people who actually liked her, and didn't do shit for the people who didn't. Like...who's actually watching this? I imagine hospital waiting rooms and the like.

 

[Portugeezer]

You can't just create Donald Trump and an entire nation of his followers and then walk away like you arent dirt.

Suffer, dirt.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

this shit is going to go down as one of the dumbest experiments in TV history. What the fuck was any TV exec thinking trying to make Megyn Kelly into a morning show host? This is like Rush on ESPN or The Joe Buck Show X 1000 levels of stupid.
