NBC to Leave Megyn Kelly Home for Olympics

NBC is sending thousands of staffers to Pyeongchang for the Winter Olympics. 

But, one staffer that the Peacock is wisely keeping home is Megyn Kelly. 

NBC is sending Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker, Natalie Morales, Willie Geist, Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer to the game, but they are keeping the ego stateside. 

"I'm so happy they are not sending here, it will be better for everyone," said one NBC staffer to FTVLive. 

Kelly, who likes to interject herself into every story might have been a bad fit at the Olympic games. The story is supposed to be about the athletes and not about the Anchors, it would have been a bad fit for Kelly and it appears that NBC saw that. 

NBC did say that Keely's show would still have an Olympic hook. NBC says Kelly will host Megyn will be featuring special coverage of the Winter Games and interviews with athletes stateside.

Smart move by NBC, very smart.
