NBC Needs to Blow Up Megyn Kelly's Show and Star Over
It appears that after the first week on the air, NBC might think about making a few changes to the Megyn Kelly Today show.
What needs changing?
Everything according to Vulture.
Vulture writes that in summary, it’s been kind of a disaster. But on the up side, its disastrousness finally led Kelly to the most authentic and relatable moment she’s achieved thus far: the point in Friday’s hour when she expressed a palpable sense of relief that she had finally gotten to the end of the week. “I made it!” Kelly shouted happily to Hoda Kotb and Scott Wolff, who was in for Kathie Lee Gifford.
in week one, Kelly incited a mini-controversy by suggesting that a Will & Grace superfan “became” gay because of his love of the show; ticked off Jane Fonda by asking her about plastic surgery; faced underwhelming ratings; and dealt with some blistering reviews. (The first episode “devolved into an intentionally meta hall of mirrors, inviting the audience to admire Kelly as much as Kelly admires Kelly,” said a Washington Post critique.)
Vulture came up with 8 ideas for the show to be changed that include changing the name, not leaving Megyn Kelly alone on set for very long and changing the show's name.
In other words, blow it up and start over.
But will NBC dare do that?
Stay tuned...
