Megyn Kelly: Maybe I’ll Go Back to FOX Where I Was Appreciated!

Despite Megyn Kelly’s desperate attempts to stay relevant by defending Brett Kavanaugh of all people, her ratings are on death’s door. NBC wants to fire her in order to rid themselves of a $23 million headache. Apparently she’s been confiding in friends that she wants to go crawling back to FOX. Megyn Kelly is said to be the most highly paid television personality at NBC. Her catastrophic ratings during Today ‘s third hour might not warrant it, but she’s said to be pulling down about $23 million per year. But we keep hearing stories that NBC wants to fire Megyn , and apparently Megyn thinks that she knows who is responsible. RadarOnline reports that Megyn Kelly blames Savannah Guthrie for the leaks. And during the 8 hours of live coverage that NBC provided of the Kavanaugh hearings, Megyn and Savannah’s feud reached new intensity. “As the day went on,” an insider says. “Savannah and Megyn got nastier and nastier.” The source goes on to say that the two were “making little digs at each other.” “When the live broadcast ended,” the insider dishes. “The two of them exploded.” Megyn and Savannah were reportedly “accusing each other of talking over one another and interrupting.” While Megyn barely treads water in the ratings, Savannah and Hoda Kotb have skyrocketed in popularity in the wake of Lauer’s firing. Megyn is said to not really be fitting in over at NBC. Earlier this month, more than two dozen folks from NBC watched Al Roker’s Broadway debut in Waitress . Care to guess who was reportedly not invited? Because Megyn was not part of that group outing. “After the show,” an insider dished. “They all went to Butter restaurant on 45th Street with Al and his wife to celebrate.” That sounds so wonderful … for the people there. “One staff member was overheard saying, ‘This family does everything together,’” the source said. “But,” the insider editorialized. “Obviously that ‘family’ doesn’t include Megyn!” Ouch! At this point, there has to be more to it than the fact that Megyn came over from FOX, right? Maybe there’s some truth to those rumors that Megyn Kelly is a nightmare diva . She is reportedly confiding in close friends that she is in talks to leave NBC and return to FOX. “At FOX,” the insider says. “Megyn was a princess.” Of course — she’s attractive, mean, and she makes claims like “Santa Claus is white” as if Santa is a real life person and not a fictional character inspired by a long-dead Turkish man. “At NBC she feels isolated and alone,” the source continues. “She’s not happy,” the insider says. “And something has to give.” We love roasting Megyn Kelly, but here is a genuine question: has she tried … being nice? The best way to make friends is to be nice to people. Not just the people whom you want to befriend, but others. If you’re losing your mind and acting entitled with the people who handle lights and makeup, it’ll get back to Hoda and Savannah. We know that Megyn is probably still unlearning bad habits, like lying and defending terrible people, that she picked up at FOX. A lot of this world’s problems could be solved if people were kinder to one another. View Slideshow: Megyn Kelly Gets Destroyed on Twitter for Rant Against Jane Fonda

Megyn Kelly Interviews Innocent Black Man Wrongly Convicted AND Crooked White Cop Who Framed Him

(Photo by: Nathan Congleton/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images) Megyn Kelly Interviews Bad Cop And Wrongfully Convicted Black Man He Framed About Their Unlikely Friendship Dang, did we have it wrong about Megyn Kelly ? Or nah? This week, for a special segment on forgiveness Megyn Kelly sat down with a white former police officer and one of the black men he framed, resulting in a ten-year sentence for drug dealing. Watch below: Here are the basics: Andrew Collins started falsifying warrants and police reports while working at the Benton Harbor Police Department. Three years later, while on the job, Collins mistakenly accused Jameel McGee of dealing drugs. Collins tailored police report falsely stating McGee was in possession of drugs and the man was convicted and sentenced to 10 years in jail. Three years into his sentence, McGee discovered Collins had been arrested. Collins told Kelly that he was “called to” reconcile with McGee after coincidentally meeting him in a park. “How did you get past the point of ‘Oh, no,’ to now they call each other brothers?” Kelly asked McGee. McGee suggested God had brought the two men together: “I know it wasn’t my doing.” “It was the Lord,” Kelly insisted. “It took years to get to this point,” McGee noted. Collins said that he had also been able to forgive himself after years of being a dirty cop. “Because I can’t walk through what God has for me if I’m going to keep myself in a prison of my past,” Collins opined. “And we also realized that God saved this story for a very unique time in our country. You know, you see a black man who was innocent, completely innocent, framed by a white police officer.” In 2011, after finally forming a friendship, Collins and McGee wrote their book, Convicted: A Crooked Cop, An Innocent Man And An Unlikely Journey of Forgiveness. Does this interview help change your opinion about Megyn Kelly?

Megyn Kelly: Is Her Massive Salary Pissing Off Her Colleagues?

As you may have heard, Megyn Kelly did not have a great week last week. Her peppy, mostly apolitical morning show, Megyn Kelly Today , premiered to less than rave reviews and featured more than a few awkward moments. Thus far, the show has served to strengthen the argument that NBC made a costly mistake in courting the former Fox News anchor. Reports that execs are desperate to fire Kelly have been circulating for months, but new revelations about just how much the network is paying the 46-year-old lead us to believe they’ll likely ride it out in hopes of seeing some return on their investment. According to a new report from Radar Online, NBC has agreed to pay Kelly an astonishing $69 million over the next three years. Yes, that awkward morning show that’s become Twitter’s favorite punchline is earning Kelly $23 million a year. For reference, NBC pays Jimmy Fallon just over $15 million annually. Matt Lauer is paid more than Megyn, with a salary of $25 million, but he’s been with the network for 23 years! “How on earth can they justify paying her $69m for three years?” said one irate insider in an interview with Radar. “The network that created Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw and Matt Lauer will now forever be remembered for the $69m hire of Megyn Kelly,” opined another. What’s truly baffling about the staggering sum Kelly is being paid is that NBC had to know her contract amounted to a tremendous gamble on their part. Though more moderate than some of her colleagues, Kelly still made a name for herself as a rightwing firebrand at Fox News. NBC shelled out for a kinder, gentler Kelly, which baffled many within the industry. Why pay her so much to not do what she’s best known for? It’s the journalistic equivalent of signing Tom Brady for eight figures and having him play wide receiver. On top of the confusing attempt at rebranding, the network assumed the risk that left-leaning viewers would reject Kelly as a result of the controversial views she espoused in the past. And indeed, to seems to be what’s taking place. Numbers for Kelly’s second week aren’t in yet, but her ratings declined steadily during her first week on the air. Of course, that could have less to do with the fact that she once argued Santa Claus is white in an unhinged on-air tirade, and more to do with the fact that her show is simply not good.

Vladimir Putin to Megyn Kelly: Get a Life, Loser!

When he’s not stoically stroking a cat or swivelling in a chair to reveal himself to a captured foe, Russian President Vladimir Putin likes to maintain the illusion that he’s the democratically elected, non-villainous head of a functioning industrialized nation. That means occasionally conversing with reporters, despite the fact that it would be so much easier to put their heads on spikes outside the Kremlin as a warning to others who might be thinking about snooping around. On Sunday night, Trump foil turned Fox News refugee Megyn Kelly interviewed Putin on her new 60 Minutes -esque weekly newsmagazine.  Not surprisingly, Putin was his usual petulant self, bristling at questions about Russia’s alleged collusion with the Trump administration , and seemingly at all times one subtle head nod away from having Kelly dragged off to a Siberian work camp. “You have created a sensation out of nothing,” Putin replied when asked about charges of Russia hacking the DNC and meddling in the 2016 election. “And out of this sensation you created a weapon of war against the president,” he said, referring to Trump. “You people over there … good job. Your lives must be boring.” Yes, Vlad just went full Regina George and basically asked Kelly why she’s so totes obsessed with him. To her credit, Kelly pressed on and asked the real-life Bond villain about the alleged pee tapes starring Trump and some Russian hookers . Okay, she didn’t use the word “pee tapes” but she did ask if Russia has incriminating information that it’s using to blackmail Trump: “Well this just another load of nonsense,” Putin replied. “Where would we get this information from? There was a time when he used to come to Moscow but, you know, I never met him. Do you think we’re gathering information on all of the [Americans visiting Russia on business]. “Have you all lost your sense over there?” he concluded, really piling on the rhetorical questions in not-at-all-super-suspicious fashion. This is some top-notch gaslighting, folks. The good thing about engaging in the kind of cartoonish supervillainy that sounds ridiculous when you describe it out loud is that all you have to do to defend yourself is describe it out loud. It’s a tactic that’s probably been employed by evildoers throughout history. “Riiiiight, I’m brainwashing you into worshipping me as a Christ-like figure so that I can convince you to commit a series of brutal murders in hopes of igniting an apocalyptic race war,” we imagine a young Charles Manson sarcastically dismissing his followers’ suspicions. Clearly, Vlad has learned from the very best bad guys. Sad! View Slideshow: Tiny Trump: Internet Cuts President Down to Size!
