Megyn Avoids Another Viewership Low, Fails to Beat Years-Old Dateline Rerun

31 Jul 2017

Megyn Kelly failed to hit yet another embarrasing new viewership low in what could have been her last Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly show on NBC.

But the final episode of her program’s “initial” run, which was pulled at least two episodes earlier than planned, still failed to beat out the years-old Dateline rerun that ran in Kelly’s time slot during the Fourth of July holiday weekend when many Americans were not even in front of their television screens.

Kelly got 3.5 million total viewers on Sunday, slightly up from the 3.1 million total viewers she got the last time her show was in the 7 p.m. time slot two weeks ago. But the years-old Dateline rerun that ran during the Fourth of July weekend got 3.73 million total viewers. Kelly’s show has failed to beat that years-old rerun since she returned, proving that absence does not make the heart grow fonder when it comes to Kelly.

Again, her show failed to beat reruns of America’s Funniest Home Videos and 60 Minutes.

Kelly starts her one-hour morning show in September, and NBC employees are reportedly livid that the network decided to name the program Megyn Kelly Today, essentially hitching Today’s star to Kelly’s wagon, even though the vapid former Fox News talent has shown that she may be in over her head at NBC without any natural base of support except for disgruntled “Never Trumpers.”

As Breitbart News noted, “network executives, who reportedly have been freaking out about Kelly’s poor ratings, are probably praying that Kelly simply does no more harm than she has already done in her short time at the network.”

Breitbart News has also documented Kelly’s disastrous debut at the network:

      Kelly has alienated everyone except the small band of “Never Trumpers” on Twitter and anti-Trump pundits who, so desperate for affirmation and attention to make up for their numerous insecurities, gleefully allow themselves to be used as the legacy media’s useful idiots. The only silver lining for Today may be that Kelly’s tremendously bad ratings may have given Matt Lauer plenty of job security.

Kelly’s ratings were so terrible that NBC executives were reportedly even considering unloading her contract and trying to get Fox News to take her back. But a high-ranking Fox News official told Breitbart News that Kelly “would not be welcomed back” at the network.

As Breitbart News has previously noted, “NBC looks like the Houston Texans when they foolishly tried to build their franchise around former Denver Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler at the start of last year. When Kelly went to NBC, a television executive told CNN that if Kelly fails, she could end up ‘fading into obscurity’ just like Osweiler went from ‘the penthouse to the outhouse.’”

The viewership is low because Megyn Kelly is seen as a conservative darling and she's running a show on a liberal channel.  Also not much advertising is being done for Megyn and other than Alex Jones, she's doing a lot of softball pieces

Megyn Kelly Morning Show in 'Total Panic,' NBC Insiders Say
By Zoe Papadakis   |   Wednesday, 30 Aug 2017

Megyn Kelly's new morning show is resulting in "total panic" among network officials, NBC insiders have said, according to The Daily Beast.

The Daily Beast reported that Kelly's NBC colleagues were worried that the former Fox network anchor would retain her current poor ratings when she debuts "Megyn Kelly Today" on Sept. 25.

The concerns come amid decisions made by the network's news division to scrap the already established "Today's Take" and replace it with Kelly's new 9 a.m. show.

The anchor's first NBC series, "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" tanked in terms of viewership, with Breitbart reporting that the show drew a low of 3.21 million viewers on July 9.

Kelly sparked controversy with an interview with Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who released recordings of a pre-interview between the two.

Since then many critics have questioned NBC's move to bring Kelly to daytime viewers.

"A lot of people were watching the magazine show to try to get a sense of her appeal to the daytime demographic and a sense of how she would be outside of the Fox environment," a veteran daytime television impresario told The Daily Beast. "Fox News skews very male… I always tend to think of her as more of a guy's girl than a girl's girl… It's extremely challenging, and I'm not sure Megyn's personality really connects with women."

Meanwhile, television news analyst Andrew Tyndall told The Daily Beast that "the Sunday show laid such an egg that any claims that she had automatic star power, to get people in the door to see what she was doing, have been disavowed."

Jezebel noted that NBC executives were concerned about the scrutiny that may greet Kelly's upcoming morning show and were questioning if the $17 million pay check offered to the broadcaster was worth it.

Megyn Kelly Makes Today Debut: ‘I am Kind of Done With Politics for Now’
by Joe DePaolo | September 25th, 2017

She’s moderated presidential primary debates. Grilled Senators and Representatives. Reported on the hot button issues of the day.

But all of that is apparently in the past for Megyn Kelly. During her Today Show debut, the former Fox News anchor made it clear she’s pivoting to human interest.

In her Megyn Kelly Today open Monday, the host sarcastically announced that she’d be dissecting the latest Tweet from President Donald Trump.

“Oh no! We would not do that,” Kelly said. “We will not be doing that. The truth is, I am kind of done with politics for now.”

The proclamation was met with cheers from her studio audience.

“I know!” Kelly said. “You know why, right? We all feel it. It’s everywhere. It’s everywhere. And it’s gotten so dark. I’m just, like, over it.”

The question remains whether someone who has been so closely identified with politics can successfully transition out of that arena. But Kelly says she’s going to try.

“Some fun!” Kelly said. “That’s what we want to be doing.”

Watch above, via NBC.

Just another vapid talking head that left a sweet gig.

Nobody can figure it out at her new place...but her appeal was akin to that cool blonde chick you saw at the gun range. You knew she was attractive and could talk about things you liked....that's about it.

She should have stayed at Fox, although she did get paid a lot of money to leave.  So whether her new show flops or not, she still likely never has to work again.

Daily Mail: NBC Executives Bash '$100M Mistake' on Megyn Kelly
By Jason Devaney   |   Thursday, 05 Oct 2017

Megyn Kelly's hefty salary at NBC is drawing the ire of some at the network, according to a new report.

The Daily Mail quoted NBC executives who are not involved in Kelly's morning show or her hiring earlier this year as saying Kelly is in line to earn $69 million over three years. Kelly's paychecks, they said, should not be in line with other network anchors and hosts who have worked there for years.

"This is insane! How on earth can they justify paying her $69 million for three years?" one executive told The Daily Mail, referencing Kelly's apparent three-year contract. "It's obscene and a giant slap in the face to all of NBC's established stars."

Kelly departed Fox News earlier this year and debuted on NBC over the summer with her Sunday night news magazine show. Her weekday morning show began last week but has drawn mixed reviews.

The NBC source told The Daily Mail Kelly's time at the network could end up being a very expensive mistake.

"The network that created Barbara Walters, Tom Brokaw, and Matt Lauer will now forever be remembered for the $69 million hire of Megyn Kelly," the source said. "When you add the cost of developing the show, hiring staff, and promoting Megyn all the time, this adds up to a $100 million mistake."

Said another NBC executive: "Megyn's salary should be nowhere near Matt's. He's been at NBC for 23 years now and has captained the ship through good times and bad times. He's worked very hard to deserve that salary."

10 Lowest-Rated Summer TV Shows: Megyn Kelly Bottoms Out
By Clyde Hughes   |   Friday, 13 Oct 2017

The 10 summer television shows rated lowest by Nielsen left Megyn Kelly just five spots from TV’s very bottom, a far cry from her prime time status with a nightly talk show on Fox News, The Wrap reported.

Fox News had reportedly offered Kelly $100 million over four years to stay with the network last fall as she was jumping to NBC, The Hill reported in January, and she reportedly took less money to do a summer Sunday evening show before debuting her current morning show as a “Today” segment.

"Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly" didn’t pan out for Kelly rating-wise, pulling a 0.5 in the key 18-49 age demographic, The Wrap said.

Here’s list of the 10 lowest-rated television shows, according to Nielsen, per The Wrap.

1."Doubt," CBS: The Katherine Heigl legal drama languished with a 0.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic for the former "Grey's Anatomy" star.

2. (tie) "Still Star-Crossed," ABC: The period-piece drama that attempted to pick up after "Romeo and Juliet," could only muster a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demo.

2. (tie) "Somewhere Between," ABC: The Paula Patton-driven drama, which had a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demo, centered around a woman who believed she knew when and where her young daughter would be murdered.

2. (tie) "In an Instant," ABC: The network's third consecutive entry, which also scored a 0.4 rating, was a docudrama series driven by interviews and re-creations to tell stories of survival.

5. "Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly," NBC: Kelly's show proved to be NBC's lowest rated program this summer. She has now moved on to "Megyn Kelly Today." The New York Post reported the ratings this week compared to last year for the “Today” segment Kelly occupies were down 32 percent.

6. (tie) "American Grit," Fox: The military-themed reality competition series hosted by former professional wrestling star John Cena never caught on with audiences, with a 0.6 rating.

6. (tie) "Boy Band," ABC: Another reality show that did not catch on, this one featuring a band competition that pulled a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demo.

8. (tie) "Gong Show," ABC: Not even a disguised Mike Myers as host could draw viewers to the show, which was a 1970s hit for Chuck Barris, pulling a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo.

8. (tie) "Salvation," CBS: Humans trying stop a killer asteroid from hitting Earth did not seem to interest viewers, either, also drawing an 0.7 rating.

8. (tie) "Candy Crush," CBS: The wildly popular smartphone app made for bad television ratings, as the Mario Lopez-hosted show only mustered a 0.7 rating in the 18-49 demo.

I would have some serious concerns about NBC going forward.

The report about Trump wanting 10 TIMES MORE NUKES just sounds incredibly ridiculous and he is going on complete offense against them lately.

The Megyn Kelly disaster.

Morning Joe looks more and more like a therapy session every day rather a credible political show PLUS

They constantly bring on reporters from The New York Times and we see what is unfolding with them verus Veritas James O'Keefe.

All of these platforms that we turned to for decades are losing massive amounts of credibility at an alarmingly fast speed.

All true, except they likely have a large number of viewers who don't care they are lied to.

Well that didn't last long.  She made bank but gave up what would have been a long, lucrative deal with Fox News. 

On the bright side, her departure led to Tucker Carlson, who has done a phenomenal job.

She prostituted herself out to the right and now the left, and the Left's pimp hand is stronger and its leash shorter than Fox's, as usual.
