Megyn Kelly Expected to Lose Show Soon Over ‘Blackface’ Remark
NBC News chief said to ‘condemn’ comment by $69 million star
NBC News is expected to pull the plug on Megyn Kelly’s morning show,
and the TV anchor’s future with the network is in doubt, people
familiar with the matter said.
Ms. Kelly has been under fire for remarks she made on the Tuesday edition of “Megyn Kelly Today” in which she questioned why using “blackface” for a Halloween costume was necessarily racist or insensitive.
Outcry over remarks Ms.
Kelly made on air about blackface Halloween costumes proved the last
straw in a tumultuous stint on the ‘Today’ show since the network hired
the anchor away from Fox News at a lofty salary. NBC canceled her show
Friday.
Megyn Kelly’s attempt to go from a hard-nosed prime-time interviewer of world leaders on Fox News to a chipper morning host at NBC’s “Today” came to an abrupt end Friday when the network canceled her show.
But the network’s $69 million bet on Ms. Kelly—meant to add rocket fuel to its morning-show ratings—was troubled from the start.
