Megyn Kelly's New Gig: A Rocky Start And NBC's Quiet Panic

'Today' show staff is reportedly freaking out over unexpected Megyn

Wow, folks, here's a story that might make your eyebrows raise. Megyn Kelly's latest venture hosting the third hour of the Today show? Let's just say it's been a bit of a rollercoaster. According to Life & Style, NBC executives are quietly losing their cool over how things are unfolding. Megyn, who’s no stranger to the spotlight, is coming across as, well, less than genuine to viewers. As one insider put it, “Megyn just doesn’t resonate with the audience as someone real and relatable.”

Reviews Are Rough, but Is Megyn Cracking Under Pressure?

Let's break it down. Reviews have been less than stellar. Some critics have described her segment as "awkward," while others, like Time, went as far as calling her "more chilly than chill." Meanwhile, The Washington Post likened her presence to something out of a horror movie: "a Bride of Frankenstein using parts of Ellen DeGeneres and Kelly Ripa." Ouch. Megyn's reportedly taking these comments to heart. One source says, "[She] was absolutely mortified." Leaving Fox News was a bold move for her, and failure is the last thing she wants on her plate. But another insider suggests she’s staying calm—for now. “She knows it's early days,” the source added.

Controversies Piling Up: Is Megyn Losing Her Audience?

It’s not just the reviews; Megyn's had her fair share of controversies since her grand debut on September 25. In just her first two weeks, she managed to ruffle some feathers. First, she asked a Will & Grace fan if they became a lawyer—and gay—because of Will. That didn’t sit well with many. And then there was the Jane Fonda incident. During a promotion for their movie Our Souls at Night, Megyn asked Jane about her plastic surgery right in front of co-star Robert Redford. Jane later told Life & Style, “With Bob there, it was just a strange question.”

    Jane Fonda wasn't thrilled about her experience on Megyn Kelly's show.

    Are the Ratings Holding Up?

    Here's the kicker: the ratings, surprisingly, haven't been that bad. The show is holding its own against Live with Kelly and Ryan. However, there was a noticeable dip after the first week, which has insiders worried. The fan backlash is particularly concerning. One source mentioned, “This could be a sinking ship that goes down fast.” Megyn needs to find her groove—and quick—if she wants to avoid that fate.
