Megyn Kelly Catching Heat, Again

Television

The first outing for "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" premiered at a disappointing third in the ratings last week, and had social media buzzing about her wardrobe choice, along with a scathing review on Comedy Central from Michelle Wolf. (The second broadcast of Kelly's show was down in total viewers from her premiere.)

Megyn Kelly's First Outing on NBC Not Impressive 

Now for this Sunday's show, airing June 18th, Kelly will be interviewing controversial radio and web host Alex Jones, prompting the hashtag "shameonNBC" on Twitter and another "pounding". It's unclear if Kelly is actually trying to bring in new viewers or broaden the audience. However, it seems doubtful that appealing to the Jones audience will help NBC retain its existing audience. In fact, it may be a turn off.
