Megyn Kelly has a new talk show on NBC and the news anchor thought that doing entertainment interviews would be easy. Guess what, they are not.
The show has only been on the air for 3 days and she has already pissed off two celebrities. First it was Debra Messing and today it was Jane Fonda. Fonda and Robert Redford were on Today to talk about their movie, but instead Kelly only wanted to talk about everything else. First she wanted to know about the Way We Were with Barbra Streisand, and Fonda was not having it. Then Kelly brought the conversation back the actress, but not on a topic she wanted to discuss.
The anchor asked her why Fonda regrets getting plastic surgery because she looks wonderful now. If looks could kill, Kelly would be dead. When Fonda could talk, she told her, “We really want to talk about that right now?” Then she brought the conversation back to the movie.
Kelly kept asking questions, but the tension was there and no amount of Oscars could hide how pissed off the co-stars were at their interviewer.
If Kelly keeps this up, she will not be interviewing any stars. I would assume, NBC is calling in favors and there is only so much the publicists will take. She is lucky she got the names she did for her first week because publicists normally do not put their big clients on a new show. They wait to see how it does before they book their clients on it. The more she pisses off stars and they go to press with their dissatisfaction, the harder it is going to be for her to even get C-Listers.
Heck at the rate she is going, I would not be surprised if by next week the format of the show will change. She will not be interviewing celebrities. Instead, she will be doing feature interviews and cooking segments.
Not only are her interview questions bad, she is really awkward and says the dumbest things. She is not good at being funny, so she needs to stop. Actually, she needs a new job. Although, I like that she gives me stuff to post. What do you think?
