Megyn Kelly can kiss her show goodbye after her controversial comments about running around in blackface when she was a kid.
Two years of pent-up bitterness and backbiting about Megyn Kelly have finally come to a head at NBC News.
Her exit from the 9 a.m. hour of the “Today” show appears to be imminent. Variety reported on Wednesday evening that Kelly and NBC News executives have had conversations about a new role for her.
A person familiar with the matter confirmed that to CNN Business and said Kelly’s show will be ending. Negotiations about the end date and other details are still underway, the person said.
Kelly’s offensive remarks about blackface Halloween costumes on Tuesday have raised more questions about her future at NBC. Spokespeople for NBC News declined to comment, and most staffers at the news division remain in the dark.
YIKES.
Now I don’t think her comments were all that bad. She seems like she was just honestly debating the issue.
But you just can’t do that these days:
Megyn Kelly looks like a hostage instructed to read out an apology. It’s so obvious that she is genuinely afraid. We are in the age of Orwell’s 1984. Deep in the middle of the PC tyranny. https://t.co/bCjEqOBJVb

On the other hand, it sounds like this was the last straw for her after a string of mishaps and low ratings. Kinda feel sorry for her, but I think she also caused many of her problems…
