Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Megyn Kelly’s show had a rocky start. She’s been plagued with bad review after bad review. The bad publicity is directly affecting the content of her show. It’s getting so bad that celebrity publicists don’t want to book their clients on her show.
“I’m not booking anyone on her show,” one “high-powered publicist” said, according to Variety. “I literally haven’t pitched anyone even from right out the gate. The buzz that is out there is so bad.”
Kelly’s catching flak for practically everything now. She accidentally offended Jane Fonda. She made a gay joke, and it wasn’t well-received. She interrupted Tom Brokaw during his gun control rant.
She can’t catch a break. So now, she’s trying to be a little…looser?
She tried a little yoga…

…and last week, she decided to try a Jello shot. She also danced around a little bit. Because #party or something.

I feel so awkward right now.
That Megyn talked about boozy lunches, broke out in dance when Pitbull started playing and even threw to commercial break while still busting a move.
She also joked about being hungover after an outing with a co-worker, and to finish out the week downed a Jell-O shot on air. Or rather, tried to down a Jell-O shot.
This new side of the NBC host comes as her show is in desperate need of a little ratings boost.
At the very least, Megyn has got to hold on to what she’s got as it could make all the difference as to whether she makes it or not.
The program showed some promise by bumping up in the total viewers and the key demo of adults 25 to 54 from week two to week three, but it is still trailing year-over-year by double digits.
I…don’t even know.
