Kelly wants to stay in the game. But as one veteran TV news executive said, \u201cOnce you\u2019ve said blackface is O.K., you can\u2019t work anywhere except Fox.\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year, on Friday, September 22, Al Roker, Dylan Dreyer,<\/strong> and Sheinelle Jones<\/strong> appeared<\/a> together for what was presumably the last time as the co-anchors of the Today<\/em> show\u2019s 9 A.M. slot, then known as Today\u2019s Take.<\/em> Clutching Champagne glasses, they brought the entire crew onto the set for an emotional farewell toast. \u201cThe fact is, the Today<\/em>show is about family, and this family has been the best,\u201d said Roker. He also introduced the newest member of the Today<\/em> family, Megyn Kelly,<\/strong> who would be taking over the vaunted broadcast\u2019s third hour that Monday. The outgoing hosts, who were to remain a part of the larger Today<\/em> roster, welcomed Kelly to the fold with all the signature hokeyness of morning television\u2014they presented her with gag gifts (an alarm clock and a bottle of Ketel One) and trotted out a horse so they could literally hand off the reins to their successor. As the whole gang yucked it up for the cameras, Roker joked, \u201cWhat could possibly go wrong?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer, as it turned out, was everything. Thirteen months later, Kelly is negotiating an exit from her staggering three-year NBC contract reportedly worth $69 million. She is covered in mud from her notorious blackface remarks, which ignited a scandal on Tuesday morning, and her future career prospects have been suddenly thrown into uncertainty. The episode was the culmination of a rocky tenure at NBC, which hired Kelly away from Fox News last year in one of the most talked-about talent poaches in the annals of TV news. As I noted<\/a> earlier this week, Kelly was never quite a comfortable fit within 30 Rock, and after more than a year of tepid ratings, on-air gaffes, tabloid leaks, tensions with management, and icy relations with colleagues at the Peacock, it was starkly apparent to both sides that the time had come to part ways. (Kelly vigorously apologized to both colleagues and viewers, admitting that she had not been attuned to the cultural sensitivities surrounding the history of white people dressing up as African Americans.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, Kelly and NBC are haggling over the terms of her departure. Sources familiar with the state of play told me that her attorney, Hollywood-based entertainment lawyer Bryan Freedman<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> and NBC\u2019s attorneys were negotiating by phone on Friday. (Freedman was initially expected to make a trip to New York.) NBC, one presumes, will end up having to pay out the remainder of Kelly\u2019s contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewers, meanwhile, are wondering what\u2019s next for the Today<\/em> show at 9 A.M. NBC confirmed publicly on Friday that Megyn Kelly Today<\/em> had been canceled and that the 9 A.M. hour on Monday would be hosted by other Today<\/em> anchors, whom it didn\u2019t name. Someone familiar with the matter told me no decision has been made about a long-term plan for the hour. But 30 Rock insiders I spoke with seemed to be in agreement that the most logical thing to do would be to get the old band back together. \u201cI think the easy play is to just go back to Al, Dylan, and Sheinelle,\u201d one source said, noting that the network would save money both in terms of salary and studio costs, since Kelly was paid a fortune and her show was taped in front of a live audience. \u201cRather than doing something splashy again, it makes sense to go back to what was there.\u201d There are, of course, other Today<\/em>personalities who will presumably be in the mix\u2014Craig Melvin,<\/strong> for instance, or Jenna Bush Hager.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of the route NBC decides to take, it\u2019s safe to say Today<\/em> will recover from whatever damage it has incurred as a result of the Kelly disaster. Overall, the ratings are still strong, and during the show\u2019s tentpole early-morning hours, Savannah Guthrie<\/strong> and Hoda Kotb<\/strong> are thriving as the main co-hosts nearly a year after the far more existential crisis of Matt Lauer\u2019s<\/strong>firing over sexual misconduct. At the same time, the incident has put the spotlight back on NBC News Chairman Andy Lack,<\/strong>who had championed Kelly\u2019s hiring in the first place, and who has recently faced scrutiny over NBC News\u2019s handling of Ronan Farrow\u2019s Harvey Weinstein<\/strong> reporting, as well as allegations in a sweeping Daily Beast report<\/a> that Lack has a history of being soft on workplace H.R. complaints. (NBCUniversal C.E.O. Steve Burke<\/strong> defended Lack, telling the Beast that Lack \u201chas my complete support.\u201d) In a sign that things were poised to get ugly, reports<\/a> said Freedman had requested Farrow\u2019s presence for the meeting with NBC management. Lack, for his part, came down hard on Kelly\u2019s remarks during an internal town-hall meeting on Wednesday: \u201cThere is no other way to put this: I condemn those remarks; there is no place on our air or in this workplace for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly, meanwhile, is faced with the arguably more challenging task of finding a new job. She\u2019s without an agent\u2014having dropped CAA for UTA, which decided not to move forward with representing her\u2014and is now just working with Freedman. As one veteran TV news executive put it to me, \u201cOnce you\u2019ve said blackface is O.K., you can\u2019t work anywhere except Fox.\u201d Indeed, two Fox News sources told<\/a> my colleague Gabriel Sherman<\/strong> on Thursday that Kelly had recently expressed interest in returning to her old stomping grounds, where she was a breakout star of the 2016 election cycle. A source close to Lachlan Murdoch,<\/strong> who runs Fox News Channel\u2019s parent company, appeared to splash cold water on that notion, telling Sherman that Murdoch is \u201cextremely pleased with the current lineup.\u201d But Kelly apparently has some support at her former network. \u201cSince she\u2019s made an apparently heartfelt apology for grossly misguided remarks, how about showing some mercy to an otherwise good person?\u201d Geraldo Rivera<\/strong> tweeted<\/a>. \u201cHope she comes back to Fox.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever happens, a friend of Kelly\u2019s told me that she very much wants to stay in the game. \u201cShe\u2019s a fighter, she\u2019s going to fight for everything,\u201d the friend said. \u201cShe wants to work. She wants to stay in news.\u201d This person also pointed me to the kicker quote of an interview<\/a> with Kelly from the October 15 issue of New York<\/em> magazine. \u201cI need to work. I need to financially, but I need to for my own sanity,\u201d Kelly said. \u201cHave I found the perfect balance? Not quite. I\u2019m working on it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
