NBC Says It Is Canceling Megyn Kelly’s Show Amid ‘Blackface’ Uproar

"NBC’s ‘Today’ show with Megyn Kelly is on the way out, making her departure from the network all but official. But the reason for her exit – comments she made about ‘blackface’ costumes – has come under scrutiny.

NBC has said it is canceling 'Megyn Kelly Today' and will replace her show with 'Today' anchors.

The ‘Today’ show – which Kelly co-hosts – disclosed on Friday that their soon-to-be ex-colleague “is in talks with the network about her imminent departure.”

Kelly apologized for the comment in a letter to NBC staff, and made an on-air apology on Wednesday at the start of her program. She did not appear on air on Thursday – sparking reports that she was already on her way out at the network. Kelly has apparently also fired her talent agency, ACA, and hired a powerful Hollywood litigator to help her with negotiating her exit.

But some have pointed out that other well-known television personalities have done far worse than Kelly – and have seen their careers blossom, as opposed to getting the boot. A friendly reminder from the Daily Caller reveals that Kelly’s alleged misdeed is small potatoes compared to the antics of other celebrities – who have actually donned blackface."
