Megyn Kelly doesn't seem too concerned by the poor reviews of her new morning talk show.
According to TheNYDailyNews, the TV host — who launched her program "Megyn Kelly Today" on Monday — closed out the final episode of her tumultuous first week by thanking her viewers, while brushing off her critics with a not-so-subtle joke.
"I just want to take a moment to thank all of you so much for watching this week," Kelly said Friday. "It's been very exciting. It has been educational. I've just been so delighted that the media response, which has really — no."
The comment earned a laugh from the studio audience, prompting a smile from Kelly. She then wrapped up by praising the viewers for giving her a chance.
Meanhile, TheNYPost reports insider whisper that Kelly’s “likability” was already faltering.
A survey found that even before “Megyn Kelly Today” went on the air on Monday, Kelly was less popular with viewers than Matt Lauer was right after Ann Curry was publicly canned.
We’re told that in a report being passed around the industry, market research firm E-Poll found that Kelly had a “dislike” score of 45. Lauer’s was 22 a month after the 2012 Curry debacle. E-Poll declined to confirm its findings.
Meanwhile, Kelly’s ratings were down compared to when Al Roker and Tamron Hall hosted the hour. “There are big drops versus last week and last year,” said a source. “Early indications are [that] the rest of the week is headed in the wrong direction.”
