Megyn Kelly Today, the new show on NBC that follows the popular Today
Show, pumped up its first guests for weeks before the show debuted on
Monday.
The cast of Will & Grace, which is getting a reboot and premieres on
Thursday, were in the house — Debra Messing, Eric McCormack, Sean Hayes
and Megan Mullally.
Kelly, the former Fox News star, called onto the stage a superfan from
the audience, Russell Turner, to meet his television idols.
And then it got weird.
Kelly asked Turner if he became both a lawyer and gay because of the
show, which features an openly homosexual character. The superfan
downplayed the question a bit, saying: "I look at Will Truman and I'm
like, he has it made: lawyer, apartment in New York City and gay? Come
on."
Russell was whisked off the stage quickly, with Kelly saying, "I don't
know about the lawyer thing, but I think the Will and Grace thing and
the gay thing will work out great."
Oof.
After the show, Messing, the show's star, was not at all happy. She was
asked by a fan on Instagram: "Why did you guys do the Megyn Kelly show?
That's a fail!!"
Messing wrote back: "Honestly I didn't know it was MK [Megyn Kelly]
until that morning. The itinerary just said Today Show appearance.
Regret going on. Dismayed by her comments."
While a Fox host, Kelly made several controversial comments about the
LGBT community. Once on The Kelly File, appearing with Family Research
Council head Tony Perkins, she said: "Gay rights are more and more
protected in this country, Christian beliefs and Christian rights, not
so much."
The Megyn Kelly Today show is, so far, pretty much a disaster. The
nonstop hugging is bizarre, and in each episode so far, Kelly has given
away thousands of dollars worth of stuff, apparently trying to become
the new Oprah.
She's often clumsy, too, interviewing Hollywood stars. On Wednesday,
she sat down with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda. She asked the 79-
year-old actress: "You admit you had work done. I think it's to your
credit. You look amazing. ... I read you felt you're not proud to admit
you had work done, why not?"
With a steely look and no hint of a smile, Fonda said, "We really want
to talk about that now?" Then she proceeded to not talk about it.
Double oof.

Dems & the media want Trump to be more like Obama, but then he'd
have to audit liberals & wire tap reporters' phones.
