| Megyn Kelly's Trump sex harassment claims helps rally ratings for her NBC morning show |
| 2017-12-12 |
| [USA Today] Megyn Kelly may be finding her voice ‐ and more viewers ‐ by tackling the issue of sexual harassment on her NBC morning show. The former Fox News anchor got off to a rough start with Megyn Kelly Today, but her 9 a.m. ET/PT hour of NBC's Today show has begun to see some ratings success as she has regularly devoted time to the issue. And her show Monday likely captured plenty of eyeballs, being that her guests were three women who have accused President Trump of sexual misconduct. By mid-October and into November, Kelly's audience began growing, including among the important core news viewing group of those aged 25 to 54, according to Nielsen. Viewership has increased monthly, and the show is currently averaging 2.7 million viewers in December, Nielsen says. Today still trails ABC's Good Morning America in total viewers. The more recent trends are improvement from where Kelly began. In September, during the first full week for Megyn Kelly Today, the show drew an average of 2.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen, which was down 12% from that same hour a year before when Today's Take co-hosted by Al Roker along with others including Tamron Hall aired in the timeslot. Since its Sept. 25 launch through Dec. 3, Megyn Kelly Today viewership is down 20% compared to the same hour last year, averaging 2.4 million viewers, Nielsen says. Kelly had hoped to steer clear of politics on Today. Instead, she said at the time, the show was meant to provide "maybe a little hope to start your day." |

| #9 If she put as much time into content as she puts into herself, she would still have a job instead of hanging out at the retirement home. |

| #7 Just occurred to me how brilliant it would be if conservatives were able to get one of their own into the lefty media and select stories that were anti-Conservative in a way that trivialized the lefty position and thus helped conservatives. Not that this is what happened but the results are the same. |
