Megyn Kelly’s new NBC daytime show is set to cancel Today’s 9AM hour, Broadcasting & Cable reports.
The 9 a.m. hour straddles the more highly rated 7-9 a.m. block, anchored by Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie, and the more fun and fluffy 10 a.m. hour hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. The new show will not fall under the Today banner but will instead be Kelly-branded, the sources said.
Meanwhile, Kelly’s cancelled Fox News series, The Kelly File, airs its final episode on Friday.
Ellen says
If NBC news gets rid of Al Roker and Tamara Hall for Megyn Kelly to come in, I will never watch The Today Show again!! PLEASE don’t bring her there!
