Apparently, Megyn Kelly was throwing a fit over at NBC over Katie Couric’s Winter Olympics gig.

TV insiders told Page Six that Megyn insisted when signing her contract last spring that she couldn’t be forced to do special events, like the winter games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. However, when Matt Lauer left Megyn assumed she’d be the one to be asked.

“She thought she had it all played out perfectly, by saying ‘no’ before the Matt Lauer scandal. [The network was] stupid enough to put in her contract that she could say ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ ” the insider said.

But NBC gave the gig to Katie, instead.

“[Kelly] complained to her staff, she complained to her agent, so that [NBC News chairman Andrew Lack] would hear about the fact that she was unhappy, but he didn’t care.”
