Megyn Kelly's Sunday Show: Is It Really Over, Or Just Taking A Break?

Hey there, folks. Let's talk about the buzz surrounding Megyn Kelly’s Sunday show. On March 6, NBC News dropped some news that had viewers scratching their heads. They announced that Megyn Kelly’s weekend show is set to return—but with a twist. It’s not going to be a regular thing; instead, it’ll air periodically during spring and summer, depending on Megyn’s schedule.

What’s the Deal with the Schedule?

Now, here's the kicker. If you’re familiar with Megyn Kelly’s daily grind, you know she’s already hosting Megyn Kelly Today weekdays from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. EST. That means her Sunday show might not have much room to breathe. Many are speculating that this is a sign the Sunday show is slowly fading away. It’s like NBC is giving it a graceful exit without making a big deal out of it.

Is the Show Really Cancelled?

One insider tipped Page Six off, saying this move allows NBC to scale back the show without awkwardly pulling the plug. You see, last season, the show was supposed to air 10 episodes, but it only managed to make it through eight. That’s not exactly a ringing endorsement for its future, right? But here’s where things get interesting: the show is set to return with Megyn interviewing none other than Russian President Vladimir Putin. That’s right, folks, this will be their second tête-à-tête after last summer’s chat.

The Bumpy Ride

Let’s rewind a bit. Megyn’s first gig with NBC was this very Sunday show, but things haven’t exactly gone smoothly. The show struggled with ratings after her controversial interview with Alex Jones, a denier of the Sandy Hook massacre. That was a tough blow. Then, her weekday show, Megyn Kelly Today, started off on shaky ground last fall after some contentious interviews with celebrities like Debra Messing and Jane Fonda.

And let’s not forget the fallout from that live TV clash with Jane Fonda. Since then, celebrities have been hesitant to appear on her show. "Who wants to risk being trashed afterward?" said a source to In Touch. It seems like the writing might be on the wall for Megyn’s career trajectory at NBC.

Of course, Megyn's ratings woes aren’t just her concern; they’ve got the NBC brass worried too. According to Life & Style, one source noted, "Megyn just doesn’t resonate with viewers as authentic." Ouch. But hey, we’re rooting for her. Hopefully, things will turn around for Megyn and the Today show.
