Megyn Kelly鈥檚 talk show 鈥榥ot returning鈥� to NBC
Days after being embroiled in controversy over the use of blackface, 鈥淢egyn Kelly Today鈥� will not be back on the air.
An NBC spokesperson sent out a short statement saying Megyn Kelly鈥檚 show will not air on the network. Instead, 鈥淭oday鈥� show co-anchors will host the 9 a.m. show.
A report Friday on the 鈥淭oday鈥� show cited a source familiar with the situation as saying NBC News and Kelly are in talks about the anchor leaving the network. Another source who was not authorized to speak publicly was cited in the report as saying Kelly鈥檚 representatives are scheduled to meet Friday with company executives and it looks 鈥渆xtremely unlikely鈥� that she鈥檒l stay.
The network on Friday aired a repeat of 鈥淢egyn Kelly Today鈥� just as it did Thursday following this week鈥檚 controversy over Kelly's comments about blackface.
The 鈥淭oday鈥� report said executives will likely be weighing Kelly鈥檚 departure compensation.
