Huge shakeup at ‘Today’ to make way for Megyn Kelly
By Carlos Greer January 27, 2017 | 12:53pm



NBC is canceling the third hour of “Today” to make way for new star Megyn Kelly, sources exclusively confirm to Page Six.


We’re told Kelly will take over either the 9 a.m. hour from Tamron Hall and Al Roker or will replace Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford.


“If she takes over Hoda and Kathie Lee’s 10 a.m. hour, they will move to the 9 a.m. hour,” an insider said.


We hear Hall will be leaving the network next month when her contract is up. Roker will continue his 7-to-9 a.m. duties.


Kelly will start in September.


“Everyone has been left in the dark and no one knows why there’s such a disruption when shows are doing so well across the board,” an insider told us. Another insider adds: “People are pissed. The third hour was beating every syndicated show across the board. They were in over their head and bit off more than they can chew when they hired Megyn.”

Producers of “Today’s” third hour learned they were out Friday morning, just 24 hours after Roker tweeted out a congrats on Thursday.


“Congrats to our #TODAYsTake @TODAYshow 9am producers for producing the #1 morning show 7 weeks in a row!! @tamronhall and I are very blessed,” Roker wrote.


Kelly announced earlier this month that she was leaving Fox News for NBC to anchor a Sunday night news magazine show plus a daytime show.


A rep for NBC did not comment.
