REPORT : Megyn Kelly Already Causing Conflict At NBC “People are Pissed”
It’s been well documented that Megyn Kelly caused conflict within Fox News. She was constantly feuding with Bill O’Reilly and sometimes with Hannity as well.
Megyn seemed to be revered by Fox ownership that seemed intent on moving viewership politically left. Given than ratings skyrocketed as soon as Tucker Carlson took over for her, it’s fair to say that “experiment” failed miserably as Fox Viewers have no interest in the type of progressive ideology Megyn would constantly espouse.
Now before she has even arrived, it looks like Megyn is causing conflict at NBC.

Former Fox News host Megyn Kelly is shaking things up at her new network and she hasn’t even started working yet.
Page Six reported Friday that NBC is canceling the third hour of the Today show and ousting two anchors to make room for Kelly’s new show.
According to People magazine, Al Roker and Tamron Hall are the anchors who will be replaced.
Both reports said NBC will put Kelly at either 9 or 10 a.m., which is currently hosted by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.
“If she takes over Hoda and Kathie Lee’s 10 a.m. hour, they will move to the 9 a.m. hour,” a source reportedly told Page Six.
Roker, who has been with Today since 1996, will continue his duties from 7 to 9 a.m. Hall, however, is reported to be leaving in February after her contract expires.
On Thursday, Roker tweeted his appreciation to Today’s 9 a.m. producers for his hour’s strong ratings.
Congrats to our #TODAYsTake @TODAYshow 9am producers for producing the #1 morning show 7 weeks in a row!! @tamronhall and I are very blessed pic.twitter.com/uNgvGim2Pc

Just 24 hours later, producers of Today’s third hour reportedly learned they would be replaced.
Kelly’s new show starts in September, according to Page Six. It is unclear whether it will carry the Today branding.
Employees with the network are confused about the sudden shakeup, according to Page Six.
“Everyone has been left in the dark and no one knows why there’s such a disruption when shows are doing so well across the board,” an insider reportedly said.
Another source said: “People are pissed. The third hour was beating every syndicated show across the board. They were in over their head and bit off more than they can chew when they hired Megyn.”

The Today Show has gone downhill. Too much giggling and talking over each other.
Boy you got that right, they all want to talk at the same time, too noisy can’t stand to listen to it.
Liberal newscasters always sound like Middle and High School students trying to make a point by shouting everyone else down. Would be nice they would grow up and have civil conversation.
OMG!!! I thought I was the only one annoyed by it! Between everybody talking over each other and everyone screaming in the background it’s the worst way to start a day…. therefore I never watch it anymore!
So why aren’t Rachel Madcow and other lefty loons screeching that NBC is ray-ciss for firing the black anchors…..
People watch the Today show? Why are there so many people with nothing more productive to do at that time of the day? Really. I’m serious. I need an answer to this.
One problem I have with the article. Megyn had issues with Trump for sure but she is a conservative lady otherwise. Making the claim she was pushing the network left is absurd. She even caught heat for saying Santa was white. I don’t recall any issue where she was left so lets not cannibalize. Having her conservative views on morning MSM helps our cause
Hiring Megyn will turn out to be the worst move they’ve ever made. She’s like a hurricane showing up: You can prepare for it, but damage ensues, then you deal with cleaning up after it. Sometimes for years.
I have switched from the Today show to CBS morning show for all of the above reasons. To much talking over each other, giggling and such. If Roker and Hall
are getting good ratings it’s because everyone is waiting for Hoda and Kathie Lee. Tamron Hall is just silly!
Me again strikes again,glad I dont watch NBC any more and btw she is not conservative by any means
Megyn is an overpaid snob. People do not like snobs.
