Quote:NBC is starting to think about reshuffling its morning lineup to limit the damage done by struggling “Megyn Kelly Today.”

Sources tell Page Six that network execs are considering moving Megyn Kelly’s show — which has been having a hard time attracting viewers since it debuted in September — an hour later, and bringing Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb’s popular hour of the “Today” show forward by an hour to replace it.

As Page Six reported in October 2017, Gifford and Kotb’s ratings “took a huge hit” after Kelly replaced Tamron Hall and Al Roker’s “Today’s Take” at 9 a.m.

At the time, Kelly was down 32 percent compared to the time slot’s viewership in the previous year. This dropped Gifford and Kotb by 26 percent, because the viewers who turned off Kelly’s show never returned for Gifford and Kotb’s 10 a.m. hour.

“It’s the smart move,” said an insider of moving Kelly. “At the very least that limits the damage already done to Hoda and Kathie Lee — maybe with a strong lead-in from ‘Today’ at 9 a.m., they’ll even pick up some of the viewers they lost since Megyn went on the air.”

The 7-to-9 a.m. slot — anchored by Kotb and Savannah Guthrie — has been doing brisk business since Kotb took over for Matt Lauer after he was fired in November because of allegations of sexual misconduct.

We’re told that the time switch would be a bonus for Kotb, because she could do all her on-air work in one block — between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. — rather than having the one-hour gap between her slot with Guthrie and her slot with Gifford.

Kelly signed with NBC in January 2017 for a reported $20 million per year.

Meanwhile, a network source pointed out that Kelly’s numbers are heading upward, and another quipped, “Just another ‘timeless’ rumor about Megyn Kelly.”

Usually watch this right before I leave each morning. FOX News Megyn Kelly was 10x better than NBC Megyn Kelly. They’re like two different people. FOX News Megyn Kelly was independent, ballsy, & fearless. NBC Megyn Kelly is this dull sympathetic mom figure.

Doesn't matter what you put up against Kellly Ripa, you'll lose in that timeslot.

Megan's "star" power merits a 4a.m. timeslot.

Imma thinkin' this.....

tampon tape.....that's perfect....

splice that mouth into nothingness would be great.....

I knew she would crash and burn. The liberals that watch NBC don't like her because she came from Fox and the conservatives that watch Fox don't like her because of that stunt she pulled in the debate a few years ago.

And then, on top of that, those that are politically neutral don't like her either because of her reputation of being a stereotypical back stabbing queen bee.

She does not make for a sympathetic figure and NBC should have realized that. They would have been better served flushing that money down the toilet.

Not a bonus for Hoda. Drinking and carrying on with Kathie Lee takes a lot of energy. Getting up at 4 in the morning to do a Today show takes something out of you.

20 million a year !?!

WTH !?!

A travesty that that string bean ***** is rich while blue collar America has struggled for decades.

They try to make her a sympathetic figure on NBC and it just comes across phony. Anyone who’s a fan of her knows that isn’t her.
