NBC has shown that they are a narrow minded, dumb organization with no ethics. Oust the good honest journalist like Ann out of a job and keep the pervert and sexual abuser Lauer.
However now that we are in 2018, what NBC did wrong with Megyn Kelly was overvalue her stock. They should've known that not everybody was going to warm up to her that easily. Megyn Kelly is nowhere near the level of a Lester Holt, Oprah, in terms of likablilty and audience trust. NBC treated her like she was someone who had an powerful brand but she really did not.
She was in a bubble at Fox News and she was nothing more but eye candy to Fox News male viewership. Once you leave the Fox News cocoon, she would have to work to appeal to a mass diverse audience. How can she relate to young women, African Americans, Hispanics and LGBTQ community. If you look at her audience there is not much diversity. Whereas you look at Wendy Williams, The Real, Ellen, and even Steve Harvey there is a diverse studio audience and an audience that is lively and looks happy to be there.
