Megyn Kelly Was Pulled From Hosting NBC’s Election Night Coverage
Who knows what Megyn Kelly must be feeling now since the former NBC anchor was supposed to be the face of the network’s political coverage — but instead she’s out after her blackface backlash.
According to Page Six, sources said that execs had long planned to feature Megyn heavily in its midterm-election coverage on Tuesday, and even sent out a press release before the scandal broke announcing that she would front the broadcast alongside Lester Holt, Savannah Guthrie, and Chuck Todd.
That is, until Monday night when NBC put out a video ad spot that pulled Megyn from the lineup, showing only Lester, Samantha and Chuck at the desk for its The Vote: America’s Future special live broadcast.
What a way to go…
