"Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" continued its downward trajectory in the Sunday overnight ratings this week, with the new NBC news series slipping to a new low in both the key demo and total viewers.

Airing at 7 p.m., Kelly averaged a 0.4 rating in adults 18-49 and 3.4 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. That is down from a 0.5 and 3.6 million viewers last week's episode, which featured her highly-controversial interview with InfoWars founder Alex Jones.

In the timeslot, Kelly again lost out to CBS' "60 Minutes," which was down from its last new episode on June 11 but still drew a 0.7 and 7.2 million viewers. She was also outpaced in both measures by a rerun of "America's Funniest Home Videos" (0.7, 3.9 million) on ABC.

Yikes. That Alex Jones interviews did her NO favors. I heard they spent over 20 million dollars to get her. Ooops.

who tunes into "personality" shows like this? especially on the weekend.

Why wouldn't it be a thing still? People record everything now. Hell half of Facebook posts are AFV style stuff.

It's hosted by Carlton Banks, no less.

The 90s never left.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

She'll need a miracle from Jesus...who was white. It's a verifiable fact.

 

[TheCochese]

No sympathy.

Just like Santa Clause.

 

[HStallion]

She can get Bill Cosby on next to talk about sexual education

Same demographic that would watch AFV instead of youtube.

Youtube for old people

How many first class stamps does it take to mail a thumb drive to Saget?

Saget has been gone forever. Alfonso Ribeiro is the host now.

Don't laugh but my girlfriend submitted a video of me eating a kumquat to AFV. I don't react well to sour/bitter citrus and never had one before. Was awful. She recorded it and some people found it hilarious.

This was a few weeks ago.

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Wait, seriously??

I feel like I should feel bad for him.

 

[Viewt]

It's almost as if she's not a real journalist and was coasting on selling dogshit talking points to the brainwashed conservative base.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Good.

It was never about her, idiots at NBC. It was about where she was. Those people won't change the channel just because you moved Megyn.

 

[LinkAndEpona]

No remorse from me. She had an opportunity to rebuild her image but instead she chose to humor a guy who thinks a school shooting was a conspiracy.

 

[TheCochese]

Shit, Saget was two fucking hosts ago.

 

[benicillin]

Really good investment there, NBC.

Guess it never gets old watching a dad get whacked in the balls with a baseball bat by his 3 year old son.

 

[Stinkles]

Imaginary poorly researched Fox viewers (who actually thought she was a treasonous hag because she sort of but not really stood up to Trump and sexual harrassment from fox executives).

 

[Matrix XII]

Oops, Poor Megyn.

/s

 

[VariantX]

Sounds like they should have given Ribero $20 mil instead

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Man a rerun no less.

 

[Kayhan]

This man knows a conspiracy when he sees one.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

AFV has to only exist because old people can figure out youtube right? Anyway, stay losing Kelly, seriously stay losing.

 

[StopMakingSense]

It's youtube for septuagenarians

And it is hilariously cheap for ABC to make.

Don't you want us to laugh?

They are still showing tapes they got in the 80s and they still got such a backlog from the OG days they could go another 30 years on them

It's more than that. It's people who don't feel like scanning YouTube for funny videos. They bring it to you.

 

[Omegasquash]

A high profile reporter that stood up to the now embarrassing to the world US President getting beaten in ratings from a show with the words:

"America, America, this is you" in the theme song.

This stuff writes itself.

I'm assuming it's just aggregated YT videos now.

People love that stuff.

First thing I thought of.

 

[BadAss2961]

Good.

It's true. She was never much of an entertaining host on Fox News.

The Donald feud also made her bigger than she really was.

 

[JORMBO]

Predictable.

 

[Catchpenny]

Just a disaster. The tone of this show is all over the place...Putin is interviewed one week, Erin Andrews the next. It doesn't have the gravitas or supporting cast of 60 Minutes, the focus of a show like Dateline, or the personality and opinionated nature of innumerable cable news talk shows. The show would be struggling even without the Alex Jones fiasco.

I'm not a fan of hers by any means, but Megyn Kelly can be successful outside of a conservative news network. This isn't the way to do it.

 

[Akainu]

Get fucked.

Why wouldn't it be a thing still? People record everything now. Hell half of Facebook posts are AFV style stuff.

Shit is everything vertical video now?

 

[thecouncil]

Don't her former viewers think she's some super liberal because she wanted women to have maternity leave or something? I mean, nobody likes her at this point.
