Her show is her attempt to be oprah


I’m watching it and it dawns on me, she’s channeling Oprah, and I’m not talking about the format, I’m talking about her demeanour and how she speaks over people in a loud way. When Oprah did it you go “fine, you’re Oprah, your opinion is king”, but when she does it? It’s sort of like “um you’re not Oprah”.

Even her narration over stories matches a Oprah’s narration.

I just caught about 10 minutes of her NBC morning show. Good God this chick is creepy in a Stepford Wives way. I also remember her from her Fox News days as an anchor but she behaved in a different manner (more objective, less pandering).

Is she really on NBC to serve as a counter-programming lure for people who hate Trump? Seems like it, and I'm a Liberal who does not support Trump, but I don't hate him enough to need to watch some one like Megyn. LOL

Did you get the oprah vibe? I’ve noticed she does a little “southern charm”, as Mississippi native Oprah would do, just say a few lines here or there in a southern accent to make a funny point. Problem is that Megyn isn’t Southern, she’s from Illinois!

A lot of people from Illinois have the southern accent,which is really a redneck accent.

Everything that went wrong with Megyn Kelly's show

The TV ratings for Megyn Kelly Today were abysmal from the start, and Page Six reported that it's, in part, because the polarizing anchor has a "likeability problem" that made her less popular than former Today anchors Ann Curry and Matt Lauer. Sources told Radar Online that Megyn Kelly Today was a ratings disaster, and that it infuriated Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford because the negative viewership bled into their fourth hour of Today — causing further drama between the anchors and the network's executives.

Not only did Kelly have trouble getting viewers at home, Radar Online also reported that she had trouble filling up her studio audience. While other morning shows have six-month waiting lists, even giving tickets away during Today didn't help bolster Kelly's crowd, allegedly requiring camera tricks to make the studio look full of enthused audience members.

For her part, Kelly laughed off the negative reviews and audience reception, calling her premiere week "educational."

I don't need Nickswift SPAM to tell me what I already know.

"The problem with Megyn Kelly Today is that it was always a morning talk show about a woman who really wanted a morning talk show," says Hank Stuever. "She came to it with only a nominal interest in anything but herself. She treats everything as a subject and only goes with what she think she already knows. She never had empathy, she's not a good listener, and she loves to make excuses. And for all the talk about how smart she is, she never seemed to do any homework. That's how you wind up being a person in 2018 who hasn't figured out why blackface is not okay and how culture and history got to the mutual understanding that it isn't."
