Megyn Kelly’s Greatest Misses: A Complete Timeline Of Her Tumultuous 21 Month Reign at NBC

Today, multiple outlets reported that Megyn Kelly is officially out at NBC following the controversial remarks she made about blackface. Sources close to the situation told DailyMail that the Megyn Kelly Today host “is never coming back,” and they explained that due to Kelly’s “non-break deal,” she stands to walk away with as much as $69 million, the remainder of her multi-year NBC contract.

“Megyn Kelly is done. She is not ever coming back,” an NBC exec told DailyMail. “We are just working out the timing of the announcement but mark my word — she is gone and will never be seen on NBC live again.”

Kelly only made it 21 months at NBC, and during that time, she showed off her excellent ability for stirring up controversy. In the almost-two years Kelly was at NBC — 13 of which she spent hosting the 9 a.m. hour of Today, rebranded as Megyn Kelly Today — she came under fire for going soft on world leaders, insulting celebrities, enabling hate-mongers, and more. At this point, it’s likely that Kelly’s tenure will be remembered for her spectacular misses rather than her well-meaning hits (of which there weren’t many).

If the past few days have left you craving for more of the disgraced host, you’re in luck. Here’s the complete guide to Kelly’s greatest controversies and biggest flubs, all of which made us say, “Megyn Kelly’s at it again.”

The Complete Timeline of Megyn Kelly’s Tumultuous 21 Months at NBC

January 3, 2017 Megyn Kelly leaves Fox News for NBC. The beginning of the end.

January 27, 2017 NBC gives Kelly her own ‘Today’ hour. This one didn’t go over well with fans of Tamron Hall and Al Roker.

June 4, 2017 Kelly interviews Vladimir Putin for the ‘Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly’ premiere. Not a great debut.

June 12, 2017 Kelly faces criticism for interviewing InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Obviously, she defended herself.

June 13, 2017 Alex Jones asks Kelly not to air his interview. Even Alex Jones wants to distance himself from this dumpster fire.

June 18, 2017 NBC airs Kelly’s interview with Alex Jones. You saw that one coming.

July 18, 2017 Megyn Kelly loses to re-runs of ‘America’s Funniest Home Videos’ in the ratings. You know it’s bad when you’re losing to AFHV.

August 30, 2017 NBC is in a “total panic” that people won’t watch ‘Megyn Kelly Today’. Hm, Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly didn’t convince America of Kelly’s greatness?

September 22, 2017 Kelly says her ‘Today’ hour will unify America. Mission accomplished, I guess?

September 26, 2017 Kelly dodges a question about the National Anthem protests. For once, Kelly didn’t share her opinion on a topic.

September 27, 2017 ‘Will & Grace’ star Debra Messing distances herself from Kelly. Don’t expect Kelly to make a cameo on Will & Grace any time soon.

October 11, 2017 ‘Megyn Kelly Today’s signal cuts out mid-interview. Does anyone on that set know what they’re doing?

October 13, 2017 Celebrity publicists say they don’t want their clients appearing on ‘Megyn Kelly Today’. *Gestures above wildly* Can you really blame them?

October 31, 2017 Kelly awkwardly hugs Shania Twain dressed as Shania Twain. That didn’t impress viewers much.

November 13, 2017 Kelly’s interview with Joe Biden gets tense after she brings up Hillary Clinton. We all know Clinton didn’t go to Wisconsin, Megyn. You don’t have to yell about it.

November 15, 2017 Kelly Confuses Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott — and calls Dermot “Dylan” to his face. Classic mix up (but actually, that’s confusing).

January 23, 2018 Kelly is mysteriously absent from her ‘Today’ hour following her attack on Jane Fonda. The saga continues.

January 24, 2018 Kelly completely avoids the topic of Jane Fonda after her absence. Can’t we just move on?

October 24, 2018 Kelly tearfully apologizes on ‘Megyn Kelly Today’. Was her apology real, or was she just reading from a carefully-worded message created by her lawyers?

October 25, 2018 Network execs call Kelly “toxic”: “We wouldn’t hire her in a million years”. Welp, there go your job prospects, Megyn.
