Matt Lauer "Gets" Why People Don't Want to do Megyn Kelly's Show
/Since Megyn Kelly started dissing on Fox News and talking about sexual harassment, she has seen her ratings go up slightly.
So of course, you know TV, this has basically been all that Kelly has been talking about since it seems to give her some eyeballs.
Also, it has been tough for Kelly to book any big names on her show. After a couple of misfires with the likes of Jane Fonda and Debra Messing, many guests are staying away from Kelly.
NBC's Matt Lauer says he "gets" why people do not want to appear on her show.
Page Six writes that when an industry insider remarked to Lauer last week that celebrities are being advised to avoid Kelly’s “Megyn Kelly Today”, a Page Six spy overheard Lauer reply that he “gets it,” adding, “It’s a big problem for them,” meaning Kelly’s show. Insiders were stunned that the veteran “Today” host didn’t try to defend his new colleague.
Kelly has seen her ratings go up slightly, but it is due to her one trick pony segment of bashing Fox News and doing stories on sexual harassment.
How long can that last is anyone's guess, but you know that NBC will keep beating that dead horse as long as they can.
Also, Kelly's lead in is killing the ratings for Hoda and Kathie Lee.
We're sure that Matt Lauer "gets" that as to why that is happening as well.
