She asked foxnews for $25 million and they declined. Kellys going to do a daytime show on NBC. Good for her, stupid for NBC.

Guess she got tired of Santa Claus is white stories and being a mouthpiece for fascists and being sexually harassed
good for her
hope it works out
Fox was willing to go to $20MM per year. I wonder how much NBC ultimately paid.
Didn't mind Kelley. Always happy when someone moves on to a situation they think is better for themselves.
So you sign a woman who has higher ratings than anyone on your cable news outlet and you pay her to work daytime tv? Maybe that's what she wanted since she has kids, but that's not what got her famous.Quote:

Yeah, I think NBC gave up on MSNBC ages ago. Fox News dominates the nighttime demo.
Where NBC is stronger is mornings (Today Show), and now they're going to move in to make a statement in daytime.

Megyn Kelly's replacement?
Live from the Ecuadorian Embassy...
Good for Megyn. I'm sure she got a nice deal if she was willing to turn down $20 million.
I am curious to see who the replacement is. You know the bench is getting thin when Tucker Carlson gets a show. Fox is going to have to cultivate some new talent.

Supposedly it's going to be a woman replacing Kelly at the 9pm slot. They say KG wants it but I'm not a big fan of hers. Might be Kelly's fill in? Martha mccallum or whatever her name is.
I didn't get in on the previous Tucker bashing though I think he's terrible. I agree about Gutfeld about like him better than Tucker (not a ringing endorsement though obviously). McCallum would be good. Sorry I don't know who KG is. If Fox has serious balls they could give Margaret Hoover a shot. A Dem, but a reasonable person kind of Dem, right between O'Reilly and Hannity. Imagine the possibilities.Quote:

Oh OK (on both counts). KG is probably a little "too pretty" so to speak. It's not hard to imagine her as a Victoria's Secret Model, but it's granite hard imagining her and Gavin Newsome as a married couple. Sort of like a Ken and Barbie I guess.Quote:

I suffer through The Five periodically at the gym during my workouts. What a miserable set of folks outside of Perino. Juan Williams is an upgrade on the Dem side over Bob Beckel, but it's still a pretty much wasted half hour.Quote:

it's never too late to make fun of that bow tie wearing no talent ass clown manQuote:

Tucker gets Kelly's spot.
I think Kelly will eventually be Lester Holt's successor. Whether Holt retires or NBC for some reason removed him from Nightly.
