The cash outlay seems to have been a huge mistake, given that Kelly's morning show, Megyn Kelly Today, started with low ratings and plummeted from there. A string of high-profile awkward moments during celebrity interviews haven't helped things at all, and Kelly's ratings are now lower than the Today show has ever seen. The turn events has some saying that not only is Kelly's job at NBC in danger, the executives who brought her to the network might have something to worry about, too.

Another source added, “That’s a big drop. They have to turn this around.”
