It’s almost time!!! And here’s a show stopper. Insiders are saying it’s possible Megyn Kelly’s first guest will be Vladimir Putin! The Russias Ying to our Wang. (I know what I wrote)
“She will start in May, and her Sunday show will premiere in June,” a network insider told us. Kelly had been expected to start in July after her Fox contract expired, but she was just released from her Fox deal two weeks ago.
She will join Kate Snow as part of NBC News’ Sunday night programming.
But the former Fox News star’s upcoming weekday morning program remains in shambles. We’re told NBC is still scrambling to find a staff and executive producer for the weekday morning show, which will debut in the fall.
“It’s a very real problem. There’s no staff in place. They have no idea what they’re going to do with Megyn. Ideas range from talk show to studio audience to news show. It’s a problem,” another source said. Kelly’s rep didn’t comment.
However, another NBC insider insists, “Megyn’s morning show is almost entirely staffed — and it doesn’t air for another five months. They just haven’t announced anybody.”
