Megyn Kelly Goes Out with a Whimper
/Megyn Kelly's Sunday night show has been put out of it's misery....for now at least.
Kelly wrapped up her Sunday night show with this, "That's all for tonight, and for the summer run of this program," said Kelly to close the show on Sunday night. "But soon, I'll be seeing you in the mornings! I'll be on at 9 a.m., right after Matt and Savannah — on our new show, ‘Megyn Kelly Today,’ starting on September 25th," she added. "And I'll be back right here Sunday nights in the spring. We are so grateful to you for watching. I'm Megyn Kelly. For all of us here at NBC News … goodnight.”
Kelly's Sunday night show never delivered the ratings that NBC was looking for and it continued to drop each week it was on the air.
Now, the show goes on hiatus, while NBC airs NFL football. Kelly's show is expected to be back in the Spring, where it will likely continue to get low ratings and then NBC will kill it off for good.
The bosses inside 30 Rock are panicking that Kelly's morning show also might be a failure.
"Megyn Kelly Today," debuts on Sept. 25 at 9 a.m. and you can bet that the NBC will be biting their nails until then.
Kelly's new show replaces "Today's Take," hosted by Al Roker and Tamron Hall, which regularly won its time slot against ABC and CBS.
