An hour of television that was by turns performatively wacky, stridently emotional, fun, awkward, informative, and weird.
Kelly's debut had an intensely cheery, manic first-date energy. ... Hair needs to be let down, but Kelly’s first hour gave no indication that this is a job she can’t learn.

After reading all of these comments, I now realize why the Megyn Kelly show is rated so poorly by metacritic subscribers. Essentially, you have tried and true NBC Morning Show devotees watching someone with an intellect they cannot understand or relate to and an opinion independent of the network. The intolerance of any other line of thinking by this particular group or party of people is disturbing and a sad display of classic ignorance. I found the show to be refreshing in a pool of boring morning shows that all follow the same script.

I was never a Fox Viewer but on occasion watched MK on her show. I always thought she would leave Fox based on her views, many unbiased. My wife and I had been taping her new morning show until today. She seems to be showing that she can't remain unbiased whatsoever. This morning, she couldn't drop the Trump Pocahontas scenario, giggling along the way. She was actually trying to discredit Elizabeth Warren. Sorry folks but that's all she wrote!

Kelly herself tried to reframe her narrative, kicking off the show by giving a bit of history about herself. (Well, sort of. She never mentioned “Fox News” once.) It was perhaps the most honest part of the show, as Kelly recounted the death of her father when she was just a teenager. ... But the rest of Megyn Kelly Today remained a bit unfocused.
Kelly is now trying to show her softer side, but it manifests itself as intense squishiness. ... The entire cast of the network’s revived sitcom Will & Grace trotted out to submit to a long but skimpy interview. (By contrast, the interview the cast did with Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb in the very next hour was far more relaxed and funny.) ... First-day jitters are understandable, and perhaps by the end of the week, Kelly won’t be contorting her face into a rictus grin. Perhaps she will allow for exchanges with the studio audience and with guests that don’t sound scripted.
Nervous and rushed. ... The ageless cast members [of Will & Grace], cramped into one loveseat, fielded a handful of lame questions from Kelly. ... The show’s final segment was a sop.
The host was so buried under cloying anecdotes and “cute” moments (her husband was in the audience and gave her roses!) that any appeal she might have naturally had was buried by carefully stage-managed artifice. ... In an interview with the cast and creators of NBC’s own “Will & Grace,” Kelly never established a relaxing rapport with them. ... In a later segment on a nun who works with young people and bereaved mothers in a low-income neighborhood in Chicago, Kelly again never quite connected with her subjects. The pre-taped piece had little depth.
The TV stars mostly stared and smiled at Kelly and tried to answer her dopey questions. It’s the one problem that has hounded Kelly even during Fox days--she’s just not good at talking to people or with people, instead of at people. The hour crawled by. A middle segment featured the “Today” regulars welcoming Kelly to 30 Rockefeller Center, a predawn festivity of studied smarm.
The former ice queen of hard line political commentary is trying hard to revamp her image, and create a show with niceties of morning entertainment, and it does NOT work!!
She is trying to be all pleasant and sweet, while putting on a bewildering array of haphazard topics. Clearly, she and this show are floundering, and it's painful to watch.
Put her back to an offshoot of her original format, and let's get on with morning television!

I was pleasantly surprised to be enjoying Megyn Kelly's show and taped it so I could sit down and watch it later in the day. Several friends said the same.. After watching it in the last few weeks, I am done!! She has become rude to her visiting panelists and instead of listening to their opinions, keeps talking over them and pushing her own opinion - which are now very political and strongly biased to what her beliefs and political persuasions obviously are. I didn't think this was supposed to be a political and one sided show. My vote, let her go back to Fox, where she has much more in common with their network's theme. She loves to keep reminding us that she's an attorney - we know, we know - but she is abusing the fact that she is VERY strongly opinionated and prosecutor attorney like in what is supposed to be a give and take talk show with very interesting material. I am really disappointed and believe she is now behaving more like "the man" she tangled with in the presidential debates of 2016. Change the format and/or change the lead lady! She's a big disappointment

Megyn Kelly is quite difficult to watch. It seems that she is trying to be concerned and caring, but just cannot pull it off. I hear judgement and criticism in her **** comes across as disingenuous. Although it is advertised as a 'talk' show, it seems that only Megyn is allowed to talk. She interrupts guests, especially when they do not agree with her point of view. Where is the conversation? Not a fan.

Maybe the network thought they would attract a "different audience" by adding Megy Kelly to their lineup, but I think that might have backfired. Case in point, the recent show with guest Tom Arnold. I am not personally a TA fan, but the spectacle of him being berated and bashed by MK was disgusting and a waste of air time. I don't care if it was staged or whatever the show is now claiming, it presented her in a very negativve light and hinted at her egotistical, bullying and just plain **** personality. If she's not really 'that way', then she's nuts for portraying herself that way.

I do not watch this show any more for several reason. First they ousted a great journalist ANN CURRY because of Mat Lauer's dislike for her probably, due to him feeling insecure and envious of her abilities which were as good if not better that his and also because she was not some one he could use his power over to get in the sac. Second the underhanded way they handled the demotion of Tamron Hall. Third the lack of diversity of their staff. It is apparent that minorities are not represented equally. Recently they must have recognized this so they decided to upgrade Craig Melvin. They also try sneak tactics to increase viewers for the Meghan Kelly segment by having other staff members join her. Meghan I think by the way is rude, narcissistic and dismissive of other people a very poor choice for the show.. I faithfully watched this show for years, at this point nothing they do would regain my loyalty.
