Megyn Kelly is off to a rocky start at NBC.
The trouble began over the summer, when the former Fox News anchor was criticized for giving radio host and Sandy Hook shooting conspiracy theorist Alex Jones a platform on her show, Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly. Advertisers bolted, and the show’s ratings were abysmal.
This week, the second leg of Kelly’s comeback tour, talk show Megyn Kelly Today, premiered. And reviews again have not been kind.
“The debut was like watching a network try to assemble its own Bride of Frankenstein,” Hank Stuever of The Washington Post wrote. “She’s just not good at talking to people or with people, instead of at people.”
