Megyn Kelly’s career is suffering.
Kelly’s NBC show Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly debuted to unimpressive ratings and has continued to slide.
Now new information shows that Kelly’s career is on the brink of collapse.
Megyn Kelly makes a reported $15 million a year from NBC.
And her show has been nothing short of a ratings disaster.
Kelly’s debut episode featured an exclusive interview with Vladimir Putin, which was destroyed in the ratings by a rerun of 60 Minutes.
Following that, Kelly interviewed the highly controversial Alex Jones of InfoWars, which was met with enormous backlash because of his conspiracy theory that the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was faked.
Kelly’s sponsors began to pull out and it was widely regarded as tasteless because it was a serious interview of a man who views himself as a performance artist.
But things just went from bad to worse for Kelly.
Breitbart reports:
Megyn Kelly’s Sunday newsmagazine show took a week off, and a Dateline rerun promptly got more viewers than Kelly’s last show.
Two weeks ago, Kelly’s Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly had its lowest ratings to date, averaging a “0.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 3.4 million viewers.”
Last night, a Dateline rerun on NBC averaged a .5 rating in the 18-49 demo and got 3.73 million total viewers compared to the 3.4 million viewers Kelly got the week before, according to Nielsen data.
The fact that a rerun of Dateline got more viewers than Kelly’s last show in her 7 p.m. time slot on a holiday weekend when many television viewers were out barbecuing or at the beach may lead NBC to consider whether the show is worth putting back on the air after football season.
CNN recently pointed out that television executives have already been wondering whether the show will get axed.
A network executive reportedly told CNN that NBC’s ‘fundamental mistake’ was thinking Kelly was a ‘superstar’ while Variety noted that Kelly’s star is ‘dimmer than ever’ The Boston Globe eviscerated Kelly for being a ‘poseur’ who lacks the ‘acumen’ and ‘magnetism’ to succeed at NBC News.
Variety also pointed out that Kelly has pretty much alienated everyone in just three weeks at NBC.
NBC News has reportedly been ‘freaking out’ over the ‘ratings disaster’ that Kelly is turning out to be.
Her ratings have been so terrible a New York radio host said NBC may be looking to unload Kelly and even ask Fox News to take her back.”
And unfortunately for Kelly, a Fox News executive recently said that they would not take her back.
Breitbart reported:
“New York radio host Mark Simone tweeted on Monday that NBC is trying to unload Kelly and convince Fox News to take her back.
But a high-ranking Fox News source told Breitbart News that there is ‘no way’ Kelly could come back to the network. Quite simply, the source told Breitbart News, Kelly ‘would not be welcomed back.’”
Inside scoop: NBC now trying to get rid of Megyn Kelly. Even trying to get FOX to buy out her contract and take her back.

And apparently, if Kelly’s ratings do not pick up very soon, she will be moved to MSNBC for a new show where she’ll never return to her status as a once-budding star.
It’s what she gets for dissing Trump.
that’s what pompous idiots get……….loser !
She failed to reason in with the fans. She started this herself, by the way she treated Pres Trump, during the debates. Plus her fans do NOT like to be betrayed, & that’s what she did. She better be changing to the news person she was BEFORE the campaigns started, otherwise she’s done for. MSNBC doesn’t improve a person’s career.
I watched her first show just to see Putin who utterly destroyed her despite her short skirt and plunging neckline which she expected to entice him. After that, I never even thought about it again and will continue to shun her show.
Surely by now she has all the million$ she will ever need to subsist in New York, but it was never about the money, it was always about the ego and how many trophies she could collect. . . The money is but a trophy to her, along with the TRUMP trophy she missed out on several times, the PUTIN trophy that wasn’t to be, the illustrious career move from FOX to ABC that never came to fruition. . . .The one thing she is the very best at, and getting better at with age is “bridge burning”, so look forward to seeing her in her new field of endeavor, “DEMOLITION” where she will seek to destroy one of TRUMP’s buildings, and somehow feel vindicated, I’m sure !
Megan is a very able reporter. However, she become partisan in the past year. This has wrecked her reputation. Those she disfavors stop watching her. Those she favors view her as a biased bimbo that outlived her usefulness. A lose-lose situation. Only solution is to return to being neutral and objective reporter and nothing else.
Too late, we have seen as she really is.
She’s done , people don’t care what she has to offer. We all saw her true colors and we tuned her out. Bye Bye
If she can’t fit in at NBC/MSNBC, her only outlet left is cnn. She would do well there because she can say anything she likes and call it news. Her salary of $15 million a year will hold her over if she is very frugal. LOL She can go to Timbuktu and I still wouldn’t watch her.
I hope she goes to CNN I’ll for sure never see her again. But they don’t want her she’s poison. 15 million a year you have to be kidding.
GOD WORK HIS WONDERS. NOW ON TO CNN
Well, good.
NBC is for the extreme left. She doesn’t fit in. The networks still can’t compete with cable.
Kelly’s interview with Trump and Clinton during the campaign did it for me she was so byas it was pathetic. She needs an awaking that the world does not revolve around her.
Oh she thinks she was the hottest thing going. I found her to be stuck up, over barring, rude, self absorbed, and at times out of control.
I never liked her from the first time she appeared. Why Fox hired her made no sense. I am so glad to never see her again. Thank you Fox. I can not imagine her husband putting up with her. It won’t last, what man would want to be Mr Megyn Kelly.
What I want to know is who is filling these people’s heads with crazy ideas that their career will be launched by destroying other people at fox. So, no where else is anything going on? Doubt that.
Snif, snif, snif. Please pass we a box of tissues to wipe away the tears of joy that I have at the demise of this very bad presenter who can only talk with a forked tongue. Perhaps Al Jezeera will give her a job doing a kiddies show?? Like CNN she can find nothing good to say about anything.
When perky Katie Couric lose yahoo news Kelly could fill in until they put her out to pasture
There appears to be a vendetta against Megyn Kelly running through this site.
While she did bring most of her downfall upon herself, this thread is wearing me out.
