'They were hoping it was going to do better than this. She's a polarizing personality'

NBC News believed former Fox News host Megyn Kelly would be ratings gold for its “Today” show after she dared to take on Donald Trump during the 2016 election, but after only six months, the $69 million gamble on the news personality is backfiring – big time.

The network is rapidly losing viewers and ratings are in free-fall, according to the Wall Street Journal.

NBC has a $69 million contract with Kelly that lasts for three years. Since September, she has hosted the 9 a.m. hour of “Megyn Kelly Today.” But her transition to daytime broadcast TV has fallen flat, the Journal reveals, adding that her ratings drops and soaring costs of production have become burdensome for NBC.

WUT?! No way huh? Wa, wa, wa. Anyone see this freight train bearing down on them? I was way over her years ago so her move to Nuthin'ButCrap wasn't an issue for me anyway. Too bad, so sad, NOT your dad.

Her career peak was as a foxnews hostette. Then she overplayed her hand and went after Trump.

That is 69 million that does not go directly to leftist causes. I'd call that a big success! 👍 lol....

How many public figures bet their entire livelihoods, reputations, and various parts of their anatomies on HILLARY WINNING?

Comey and the deep state for sure.

One might think, given the wisdom of the erudite elite broadcast executives, that the notion at some point would cross their overly educated minds that the reason Megyn is a flop is due entirely to her attack on Trump. This is the same reason their overall ratings are in the sh!tter. Perhaps they are aware of this and their childish liberal attitudes won’t let them cede an iota of their “power over the masses” to Trump, who has beaten them soundly.

They should have stuck with Deborah Norville, who was back-stabbed by Mrs. Gary Trudeau.
