Megyn Kelly hasn’t had the best beginnings for her hour time slot on the Today show.

Last week, when Matt Lauer was told that certain celebrities are being advised to avoid Megyn’s show, instead of defending the host, he simply replied that he “gets it.”

“It’s a big problem for them,” he said of Megan’s show, overheard by a spy at Page Six.

Publicists are supposedly steering away from the show due to low ratings as well as the drama that ensued following Jane Fonda and Debra Messing’s appearances.

“This week was the lowest Kathie and Hoda have rated since 2010,” said a source. “It keeps getting worse. Megyn is killing them. It is a real problem and no one wants to book Megyn’s show,” the insider said.

Another source added, “They can keep telling you about all the lunches they’re taking her to, but it’s not helping the ratings.”
