Hey there, folks! You know that feeling when you’ve been waiting for something so long that it feels like years? That’s exactly how many of us felt about Megyn Kelly Today finally hitting our screens on Monday, September 25. But now that it's here, people can't stop talking about how Megyn Kelly performed on her first-ever episode. And guess what? NBC insiders are scratching their heads, too.

Megyn Kelly's Big Debut: What’s the Buzz About?

During the premiere episode of her talk show, which aired during the 9 a.m. slot of Today, Megyn Kelly — at the ripe age of 46 — made a bold declaration. She announced that apart from covering some news, her show would steer clear of politics. Let that sink in for a second. This is the same Megyn Kelly who carved her career covering Washington politics and even had a high-profile spat with President Donald Trump. So, you can imagine the reaction from NBC insiders. "They spent all that money on this top-tier political anchor and journalist," an insider told Page Six. "If you take politics out of the mix, what exactly are they paying for?"

What About the Ratings?

Now, here's the thing: everyone’s keeping a close eye on the ratings. Megyn’s new series replaced Al Roker and Tamron Hall, who left the show unexpectedly when news of Megyn joining broke. "If it doesn’t work out, apart from all the other fallout, it’ll be seen as a waste of Al and Tamron’s time," the source added. That’s a lot of pressure, right? But Megyn’s ready to take it on, and she’s doing it her way.

Megyn Kelly’s Personal Journey: Why the Move?

Even though the show is a political-free zone, Megyn has already come to terms with her past before the show’s premiere. And guess what? She revealed the real reason behind her bold move from Fox News to Today: her family. "Two of my kids were in school during the exact hours that I was at home. They would get back at 3:30 p.m., just as I’d be leaving to do The Kelly File. I hadn’t tucked them into bed on a weeknight in three years," Megyn confessed. "It was time to do a gut check, to make sure I was happy and doing what I’m supposed to. The answer was clearly no. It was time to make a change."

And now, she’s focusing on the future — both for her family and her career. "The tough times remind you that you can do better," Megyn said. "Today, I look at the future and see endless possibilities." We can’t wait to see how Megyn lights up weekday mornings from here on out!
