Report: Megyn Kelly’s Show Reportedly Canceled After Controversial Comments

She was the darling of cable news and a high-paid morning-show host, but today, Megyn Kelly's future at NBC hangs in the balance.
Multiple sources told People that Kelly's 9 a.m. “Today” show slot has been canceled following her controversial comments about blackface. Kelly and the network, however, have yet to confirm the cancellation.

Broadcast News Sounds-Off on Megyn Kelly
View StoryOne source told the magazine that staff was being reassigned, but no official announcement had been made, adding, “The show is clearly over.”
The $20-millon-per-year newswoman came under fire while discussing “inappropriate and offensive costumes” on her show.
“But what is racist?” she asked an all-white panel. “Because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface at Halloween or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character.”
Kelly later apologized to colleagues via email, and later on air, saying, "I want to begin with two words: I'm sorry... The country feels so divided and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity and honor... Thank you for listening, and for helping me listen, too."
Thursday's episode of “Megyn Kelly Today” was pre-taped, and reports say Friday's will be as well.
