As we predicted this morning, it was only a matter of time until viewers of Megyn Kelly Today were going to be exposed to another cringeworthy interview to suffer through. Like clockwork, the show experienced another headline-making moment mere hours later – but to Kelly‘s credit, this time wasn’t really her fault. During an interview with decorated American soccer player and Olympic gold medalist Carli Lloyd, a member of Kelly’s crew inadvertently stepped into frame while Lloyd discussed what had changed for her since scoring her famed game-winning goals.
Lloyd began her answer to Kelly but was soon obscured by a cameraman stepping into frame. “It’s been a whirlwind, you know? But I think what’s been most fascinating is -” The crew member quickly noticed his mistake and loudly whispered “sh**!” before shifting back out, which was seemingly acknowledged by an eyebrow raise from Lloyd.
Cameraman expletives aside, Kelly did dig some part of her own clumsy grave on this morning’s show. The beginning of the segment found the host looking into the wrong camera, which she then addressed wordlessly by turning to face the correct one.
Between this, the Jane Fonda disaster, the Debra Messing disaster, the unexplained mystery of what happened to her scheduled interview with Edie Falco, and her weirdly noncommittal opinions on the NFL anthem protests, this has been a week to forget for the former Fox News star.
And remember, it’s only Week 1, folks.
Megyn Kelly Today airs weekdays at 9am EST on NBC.
