Megyn Kelly targets Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon in fiery podcast<\/p>\n Megyn Kelly targets Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon in fiery podcast<\/p>\n
Megyn Kelly is calling out late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon over negative jokes.<\/p>\n
She made the comments on The Megyn Kelly Show on May 21 while discussing the end of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She first turned to Meyers, using strong language and insults to refer to him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was such an a****** when I was over at NBC, like, I couldn\u2019t stand him,\u201d she vented on her podcast, also calling him a “jerk” and a “f****** douche”.<\/p>\n
She said she had previously helped his wife by booking her on her show for a charity appearance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018Sure, I\u2019ll put her on,\u2019 and then like, a couple months later, he was out there attacking me at the upfronts, where you make your pitch to advertisers”.<\/p>\n
Kelly claimed that later, Meyers made negative jokes about her during a public industry event.<\/p>\n
\u201cLiterally, he was out there making jokes about what a racist I was,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, but you\u2019re just a d*** if you do that. Who would do that? If you don\u2019t like me, or you think bad things about me, okay, no problem. We don\u2019t have to like each other. Why would you ask me to do you a favor\u2026 and I did it\u2026 and then attack me publicly?\u201d<\/p>\n
She said she felt betrayed by the situation and criticised him for publicly attacking her after she did him a favour.\u00a0You\u2019re such a douche. You\u2019re such a f****** douche, sorry for my language,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Kelly then turned her comments to Fallon. She said Fallon is “far less political than Meyers” but questioned whether he was trying to \u201cfill the shoes of Stephen Colbert.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then referred to a recent segment from The Tonight Show, where Fallon performed a satirical song about Donald Trump and a legal settlement. Kelly said she strongly disapproved of the segment and reacted negatively to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god\u2026 That should\u2019ve come with a viewer warning. I was recoiling. I disapprove on every level,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n
Her guest on the show, radio producer Stu Burguiere, also criticised the clip and called it one of the worst things he had seen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is the worst thing I\u2019ve ever seen\u2026 I\u2019m sort of angry at you, honestly, for even showing that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The discussion came during ongoing attention around late-night television following the cancellation of Colbert\u2019s show after an 11-year run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Megyn Kelly targets Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon in fiery podcast Megyn Kelly is calling out late-night hosts…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440307,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":["post-440306","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440306","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440306"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440306\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440307"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440306"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440306"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440306"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
