Inside the Locker Room: NBC Staffers Weigh In
Let me tell you something real. After the cancellation of Megyn Kelly's third-hour segment on the Today show, a well-placed source exclusively revealed to Closer Weekly that the 47-year-old's departure has been nothing short of a "blessing" for the NBC team. This insider shared that since Megyn left the building, there's been a noticeable shift in the atmosphere. "The production staff is genuinely happier, and the tension that used to hang over the place? Gone. Just like that," they said. The vibe behind the scenes has changed almost instantly, creating a more harmonious work environment.
And you know what else? The staff now sees Megyn’s exit not as a loss but as an opportunity. They view her firing as "a best-case scenario" because they're no longer tied to just her show, Megyn Kelly Today. Instead, they're back to working on the broader Today show, which opens up so many more creative possibilities. As the insider put it, "The opportunities are limitless now. The sky's the limit!"
Life After Megyn: A Breath of Fresh Air
Now, while NBC is still figuring out what to do with Megyn’s old timeslot—Al Roker and Hoda Kotb have stepped in temporarily to fill the void—the staff is loving every minute of it. "We're having such a great time producing the Today hosts," the source confided. "It's so much more relaxed now. Yes, it's still hard work, but there's a sense of organization, friendliness, and flow that Megyn just couldn’t seem to bring to the table." It's like they've found their groove again, and it feels good.

And here's the kicker: there's no lingering bitterness from Al or any of Megyn's former co-hosts. "Everyone is doing what they can to get through this challenging time. It's all hands on deck. Teamwork is key, and that's something Megyn didn't fully embrace when she first came on board," the source explained. It's all about pulling together and moving forward.
The Writing Was on the Wall
Just days after Megyn sparked controversy by questioning why blackface Halloween costumes were considered "racist" during an on-air panel discussion on October 23 and sent out an email apology to her "friends and teammates," NBC confirmed her departure on October 26. "This morning, NBC News host Megyn Kelly is in talks with the network about her imminent departure, according to a source familiar with the situation," the popular morning NBC show tweeted at the time. Sometimes, change is inevitable, and in this case, it seems like the NBC team is ready to embrace it with open arms.
