'Megyn Kelly Today' Canceled Following Blackface Controversy

Reports Megyn Kelly Today has been canceled, according to multiple reports.

A second source tells ET that the network spent much of Thursday morning reaching out to staff on Kelly's show and letting them know that they are being reassigned within different divisions of the network, with most of the staff being reassigned within the Today show.

People reports that Megyn Kelly Today has indeed been canceled.

While People reports that Kelly hasn't been fired completely from NBC, The Daily Mailand Page Six both report that Kelly will no longer appear on the network.

Kelly announced she was leaving Fox News for NBC last January, and ET confirmed that Kelly signed a multi-year agreement with the network that included her hosting her own daytime news program, anchoring a Sunday evening news show and taking part in special political programming and other breaking news coverage.

Kelly's first week hosting Megyn Kelly Today wasn't exactly smooth sailing.

Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie defended Kelly last September during her appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, commenting, "I think she's got the eyes of the world upon her, and I think everybody can relate to how nerve-racking that is."We're thrilled to have her," Guthrie continued.
