After her NBC documentary show flopped, the network gave her a morning show to showcase her wooden talents. It's only been three days but it's already looking bad.

Quote:The debut was like watching a network try to assemble its own Bride of Frankenstein, using parts of Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly Ripa and whatever else it can find. The resultant lovely creature, dressed in a mauve, pussy-bow blouse and skintight pants, moved stiffly and waved her arms around in broad gestures in a bizarre attempt to generate excitement from an audience that was already standing and cheering as duly instructed. She interviewed people nervously and so awkwardly that they were cowed into giving monosyllabic answers. She also never missed an opportunity to talk about herself.

Most of the episode devolved into an intentionally meta hall of mirrors, inviting the audience to admire Kelly as much as Kelly admires Kelly — a morning TV show about the birth of a morning TV show. There was lots of talk about what "Megyn Kelly Today" will be, mostly by way of what it won't be. (That's always a bad sign.)

[...]

The hour crawled by. A middle segment featured the "Today" regulars welcoming Kelly to 30 Rockefeller Center, a predawn festivity of studied smarm, with the added delight of seeing Kathie Lee Gifford sit in her makeup chair and play nice-nice with Kelly the way an old house cat would welcome a naive and extra-squeaky mouse to the kitchen. Then everyone came to Kelly's stage to drink mimosas and bask in the NBC-ness of it all.

One of the guests on her first show, Debra Messing, said she regretted going on.

Quote:Debra Messing claims she didn't know her appearance on Monday's "Today" show would be part of former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly's debut.

In fact, the "Will & Grace" star, who appeared on the morning talker with the comedy's cast and crew, said she regrets being on. And she was "dismayed" by Kelly's commentary, presumably when she made a joke about a gay superfan modeling his life after the show's titular Will Truman (watch that exchange at the 2-minute mark below).

She alienated Trump voters and is intensely hated by the left...





But the best came today. She actually asked a guest, Jane Fonda, about her plastic surgery in what was supposed to be a puff interview to promote a movie. Jane got pissed and took control over the interview.

Total amateur. I'll be surprised if this show lasts two months.

I notice she's growing her hair out again. I guess the lesbian look didn't sell with her target audience.

Destruction? I thought it was already destroyed at this point.

She was never conservative or liberal. She was just flat out stupid and you cannot fix stupid.

The Jane Fonda thing reminds of that Robert Downey Jr. interview, where it was supposed to be a plug for his new movie and the interviewer suddenly wanted to get all "deep" about his past.

I honestly could give a shit about the problems of rich celebrities, but this kind of bait and switch Kelly pulled is not only unprofessional, it's basically an attempt at theft. These kind of appearances are set up in advance by publicists with the explicit understanding that it's a bullshit popcorn interview. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. I plug in my new movie, you get your ratings. Everyone knows the deal.
When you go off script you basically say "screw our deal, I'm getting more out of this" and put the other person on the spot.

If you pull that shit in real life in any kind of business environment, you're not going to be in business for long.

She's always come across as a clueless and harsh cunt. The only reason why she had any appeal is because America men are completely thirsty even for a middle age career chick, and American women think she is a role model. She's a completely unlikable disaster of a human being. All the social skills of Mark Zuckerberg.

Who cares about either of those two washed-up bints? WTF happened to Redford?

Has anyone seen 3 Days of the Condor? Now Redford's sitting there with his legs crossed (at the knee!) looking like my grandmother.

Never forget, gents -- time is the enemy.

Has it only been there days? When I saw her show on yesterday, I wondered how long she had been doing her own segment. I also watched her today, and it was very...
Impersonal? Robotic? Her voice is sharp and monotone. I would be surprised if she lasted more than a couple of months. I don't know what her demographic would be - seems too cold and unfunny for many women to like her.

This is the reality of the News Bimbo journalism that Fox News started. Like in porn, a girl didn't have to have good camera presence, she just had to be reasonably attractive. Journalists aren't smart to begin with, but take a really basic basic bitch who's never read a book in her life, put her in a short skirt and heels, have the camera angle show off her legs as she reads the teleprompter or engages in vapid conversation on screen and you got the current state of "elite" journalism.

Megyn here has let her ego get the better of herself; she somehow thinks she's more than just tits and ass. She thinks she's an impactful investigator and intrepid interviewer. I'd bet money she couldn't name three books in the fields of history or politics, let alone read them. Bitch had nice legs and long blonde hair. That's the only reason anyone paid attention to her. Her delusion and resulting failures are deliciously entertaining.

A famous weather lady on Univision did a pantyless upskirt shot and secured her career forever. The gif is golden. Maybe Megan should try it. Nothing left to lose at this point.

I think the big mistake here, is to assume that these NBC producers are naive enough to not understand, that putting Megan Kelly together with Jane Fonda is like mixing oil and water. I would guess the producers actually told her to ask the questions about the plastic surgery, and say the moronic comments about gay people. Its the perfect TV clickbait storm, and guess what, everyone is talking about Megan now. Just like at Fox News, I would guess she had a script and people just told her what to say. Shes just a tool of whatever network she is on. The producers actually drive the show. Just like those awful Matt Lauer interviews.

Where she will go down, is actually NBC's mistake. They think Fox News viewers will come over to NBC. This is their big mistake. Fox News viewers are OLD PEOPLE. OLD PEOPLE hate NBC, and MSM. Her show will fall on deaf ears. The women that watch NBC, are not the 70 year old women that watch Fox. So.. NBC made a bad bet. And they already know, they put her in a dead zone time slot. Give it six months and shes gone.

Had no idea she was like this. Bitch got a room temperature IQ.

WB Jane Fonda though...

She could have had a nice, comfortable career at Fox but no, she just HAD to attention whore...

This recap of Kelly's show popped up on my Google newsfeed. I didn't know Jezebel was still around.

She interviewed one of the Menendez brothers and asked this fucking gem of a question: “I wonder if you remember, when you were shooting them, what you were feeling?”

Jesus Christ.

Yep.
The foolish thing is; she's essentially attention whoring to no one who even gives a damn.

I'm sure NBC is pissed right now. They paid this woman a crap ton of money to flop in spectacular fashion. Funny they actually believe(d) she's an effective "journalist."

I don't think they know what to do. If it continues down this current path, Megyn Kelly will be out of a job in a few weeks and NBC will not be able to recoup the tens of millions they invested in the set as well as her salary.

He broke her.

She's gonna end up like Katie Couric, working for fucking Yahoo or as some kind of special correspondent.

I bet the FOX News execs are walking around the place like they own the joint hard right now.



Probably looking at all the hot women there in the lineup, and probably want to tell them, "Bitch I made you, you are nothing without me!"

Next time they better keep their pimp hand game stronger!

The normally friendly to establishment Amazon Bezos Blog WaPo hacks like Kelly had an absolutely brutal takedown of her new show. A rat rag eating a fellow rat! Rather interesting. Highlighted some areas of extra special cringe.

Quote:“Megyn Kelly Today” is meant to be the final, dazzling piece of Kelly’s multimillion-dollar transmogrification from steely Fox News host to a mushy, hugs-for-everybody, midmorning TV host. It premiered Monday on NBC in the 9 a.m. hour of the “Today” show, proving only that the experiment is far from successful.

The debut was like watching a network try to assemble its own Bride of Frankenstein, using parts of Ellen DeGeneres, Kelly Ripa and whatever else it can find. The resultant lovely creature, dressed in a mauve, pussy-bow blouse and skintight pants, moved stiffly and waved her arms around in broad gestures in a bizarre attempt to generate excitement from an audience that was already standing and cheering as duly instructed. She interviewed people nervously and so awkwardly that they were cowed into giving monosyllabic answers. She also never missed an opportunity to talk about herself.

[Megyn Kelly says she is ‘kinda done with politics for now.’ Why that probably won’t last.]

Most of the episode devolved into an intentionally meta hall of mirrors, inviting the audience to admire Kelly as much as Kelly admires Kelly — a morning TV show about the birth of a morning TV show. There was lots of talk about what “Megyn Kelly Today” will be, mostly by way of what it won’t be. (That’s always a bad sign.)

“We’ll be dissecting the latest tweet from President Trump,” she said, sarcastically, before insisting that politics will never be welcome in this safe space of an hour. Instead, her show will encourage viewers to escape from the awful world, “to laugh with us” (not one genuinely funny thing happened in this first episode), to which Kelly added her wish that viewers will enjoy “a smile, sometimes a tear, and maybe some hope to start your day.”

She talked vaguely about her incredible journey from one network (which she assiduously avoided naming) to NBC and how the spirit of her father, who died when she was a teenager, was somehow involved in this miraculous intervention of contracts. (Isn’t that fascinating? Don’t you feel so much closer to Kelly already? No?)

[Megyn Kelly just helped some guy get thousands of new followers]

Then she took questions from the audience — the first from a gushing fan: “What’s been your greatest joy?” while moving from hosting a nighttime show to hosting a morning show, he wanted to know. The second was from Kelly’s husband, who didn’t have a question — he just wanted to bring her roses. They hugged each other woodenly, as if they’d just met.

After that, Kelly welcomed the stars of NBC’s “Will & Grace,” which returns to the network Thursday night. Here you have four seasoned comedy actors (Eric McCormack, Debra Messing, Sean Hayes and Megan Mullally), who, if nothing else, probably know how to be funny and chatty and casual. But they also heard Kelly declare her show as politics-free, so, after she told them how much fun she had watching the old show back in the day (her day), they really didn’t have much to talk about, since the revived “Will & Grace’s” first episode happens to wind up in Trump’s Oval Office, where Grace has been hired to redecorate.

Kelly also summoned from her audience a “superfan” of the original “Will & Grace,” who said he considered the McCormack’s Will Truman character a role model. Kelly asked the man if he “became a lawyer [and] became gay” from watching the show.

Very smooth. The TV stars mostly stared and smiled at Kelly and tried to answer her dopey questions (“Were you worried at all that the magic wouldn’t be there?”). It’s the one problem that has hounded Kelly even during Fox days — she’s just not good at talking to people or with people, instead of at people.

The hour crawled by. A middle segment featured the “Today” regulars welcoming Kelly to 30 Rockefeller Center, a predawn festivity of studied smarm, with the added delight of seeing Kathie Lee Gifford sit in her makeup chair and play nice-nice with Kelly the way an old house cat would welcome a naive and extra-squeaky mouse to the kitchen. Then everyone came to Kelly’s stage to drink mimosas and bask in the NBC-ness of it all.

Kelly ended the hour with a short, prerecorded puff-piece about a Chicago nun, Sister Donna Liette, who ministers to young men and their mothers in the city’s roughest neighborhoods. After that, Kelly welcomed Liette to the stage, whereupon the Coldwell Banker real estate company and Ace Hardware presented her with a giant cardboard check and a giant gift card. Hallelujah and God bless — the hour was finally over.

Then Kelly reminded us she’ll be back Tuesday morning (and for as many mornings as it takes to either work this thing out or cancel it), this time with the cast of “This Is Us” and a fair warning: “My mom has something she wants to share with you.” Rest assured that “something” has to do with the wonderful, hopeful, shallow world of being Megyn Kelly.

The full spectrum of my emotional reactions:

She just needs to leave network TV and go teach journalism or something.

Women are nothing but interchangeable cogs on network TV and she failed to learn that.

Post: #24

Rush has been saying it for years, don't build your career on media hype, because they'll tear you down just as quickly.

I feel bad. She was duped by the media.

But that's because I'm a chauvinist. If it were a dude, I'd say fuck him.

Interestingly enough, teaching requires talent, but pays table scraps compared to the OVER $15M that NBC paid her to join the team. Kelly is the most prominent example I can think of someone who has ZERO talent, but "fails upwards" due to having the right connections.

Oh, in other news, she sucks at cooking and hasn't tucked her kids in bed on a weekday in over three years. It is almost like she is a cookie cutter ROK stereotype of what kind of careerist lawyer cum news media attention whore cunt to avoid.

When NBC finally cancels her show after bleeding money like a stuck pig bleeds at a slaughterhouse, I will pop open some bubbly to celebrate the occasion of such a horrible monster fading into obscurity.
