Daily Blind Item — Network Overtures
This A list network are reportedly making overtures to a disgraced A list personality, who was formerly one of the biggest names on the network.
‘I expect there to be a lot of controversy if the deal goes through,’ our source whispers.
So, tell me, Gossipers:
Who is our A list personality?
What is the network?

Does this mean we’re going to lose Megyn Kelly trying to be relatable? It’s the best unintentional comedy on the air!

She’s good as an angry frau on Fox, because that’s probably who she is in real life. As Oprah-lite? No. Pass.

Annoyed that Al Roker and Tamron Hall lost their jobs for this.

Could see her escaping from NBC back to Fox. Not like they’d miss her and I’m sure Fox would happily take her back on a reduced pay. Love following the American network drama. So entertaining.

The Tonight Show controversy was another network drama that dished the dirt on a crazy level. If you haven’t read up on that and you do find that stuff entertaining, I really would.

Don’t forget the 1992 conflict over the Tonight Show between Jay Leno and David Letterman too. I read about that recently and it’s just as entertaining as the power struggle between Conan and Jay in 2010…

We don’t have anything like equal to this in Australia. Wish we did. Must be a riot.

Kelly has nowhere to go if NBC drop her. Fox wouldn’t take her because of the way she left and conservatives don’t like her for challenging Trump in the debate.

You people only despise her because she had the gall to stand up that repulsive bully Trump.

Fox are in love that misogynistic dinosaur because he represents the brand perfectly. Hopefully bringing him back causes an unprecedented backlash and ends that foul network once and for all.

Don’t count on it. Unfortunately controversy seems to strengthen Fox’s ratings and stance. Losing Megyn Kelly and Bill O’Reilly hasn’t stopped Fox News from being the most watched basic cable network or caused the smallest shift in its politics. It’s a toxic brand with devout followers.

I guess Rupert Murdoch still holds all the power regarding Fox News, because his children reportedly hate Bill and everything he stands for…

What about that Brian Williams chap? Didn’t he get caught telling porkies and get sacked?

Williams was suspended and then lost his job as lead anchor on Nightly News on NBC because he told a dramatic story about his time in an Iraq helicopter that seemed to change each time he told it.

Brian Williams dramatizing his story while reporting the news is the funniest concept to me.

Isn’t that what the modern day news is, dear? Mostly fiction and fabrication, but as long as ratings are delivered, then it doesn’t particularly matter to the people up top.

I could see NBC courting Williams back to the Nightly News. The whole scandal was years ago and now and nobody really cares. It isn’t that big of a deal.
