Report: NBC Cutting Third Hour of Top-Rated ‘Today’ to Make Room for Megyn Kelly

BJ: NBC is making major changes to its top-rated Today morning show to accommodate the arrival of former Fox News star Megyn Kelly, according to a report.

Sources close to the network told the New York’s Post‘s Page Six that Kelly — who announced she would join NBC this month after more than a decade at Fox — is expected to take over either the 9 a.m. Today hour, currently hosted by Tamron Hall and Al Roker, or else the 10 a.m. hour, currently hosted by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.

An insider told the paper that staffers at the network are upset that NBC would make significant changes to its Today lineup, given the show’s strong ratings over the last several months. Today producers were reportedly informed of the changes Friday morning, one day after Al Roker tweeted a celebratory message about the show’s ratings.

“People are pissed. The third hour was beating every syndicated show across the board,” the insider told Page Six. “They were in over their head and bit off more than they can chew when they hired Megyn.”  more here

  1. I have a TV at work and some of the folks had Hoda on and were laughing at her glasses. Rocky the flying squirrel wore them better.

    I turned off Kelly at Fox so I will only be watching her numbers tank.

  2. It’s like watching a Trojan Horse attack. I suspect no matter where she goes, except home, will tank viewership. She is hollow.

    Next, Al-Jezera? (However it’s spelled.)

  3. Reboot says she’ll go full left tard, and I agree. In less than a year on NBC she will be spouting her new personal left-wing views. That’s because she wants to be accepted by all the “cool kids” at her new network. If confronted about a change in viewpoint since her Fox News days, she’ll say something about having “evolved”, which will make her even more acceptable by her new “cool kid” pals.

  4. Why would you want to hang with the cool kids? From my personal experience the so called cool kids were generally jerks and assholes who had a sense of privilege and mommy and daddy bailing their asses out of trouble because they were above reproach sort of like the democraps. I’m glad I hung out with the losers because for the most part we turned out normal.

  5. The 3rd hour of “Today” is “Top Rated”? WTF!?!? Cleaning up cat vomit is less annoying than Al and that super stoopid chick that sits next to him and giggles at squirrels and things that flash and spin.

    We are in real trouble if that show is truly “top rated”….

  6. Meanwhile, our guy Tucker demolishes her previous ratings.
    I’ve actually been watching TV news again, since his show premiered.
    Maybe Megyn can find something more outrageous than tampon earrings…..

  7. How long till she gets into a cat fight between the other queen bees.
    How long till she’s on The View.
    How long till she goes slumming with Dianne Sawyer.

    How long
    has this been going on
    How long?!
    How long?!
