Page Six is reporting that there is bad blood around Megyn Kelly at Today, so much so that cohosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb are openly sniping at her on air.

An NBC News insider told Page Six, “Everybody in the control room gasped when Megyn brought up Hoda’s ‘dark period,’ because many viewers likely won’t know exactly what she was referring to. That comment was awkward, mean-spirited. It really stung.”

On Jan. 2, Megyn said to Hoda, live on air, “We talked recently about how, 10 years ago, your life was very different. You were going through a dark period.” But she didn’t explain that she was referring to when Hoda was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent surgery. She merely added, “Do you take a moment on a day like this to stop and think, ‘Holy moly’?”

Now, Guthrie and Kotb’s team have hit back by poking fun at Kelly’s famously awkward run-in with Jane Fonda last September.

this past week, Fonda appeared on Guthrie and Kotb’s show with her “Grace and Frankie” co-star Lily Tomlin. Kotb asked how long the two had known each other. “Fifty years — a long time,” Fonda answered, while Tomlin jokingly added, “I think before your first face-lift!” Fonda looked at Tomlin and replied, “Who are you? Megyn Kelly?”
