Megyn Kelly Gets ‘Days of Our Lives’ Cancelled?
As if it isn’t bad enough that Megyn Kelly has turned most of her conservative listening audience against her, now, Like sands through the hour glass, she may be turning a huge portion of America’s Soap Opera fans against her as well. The word on the street is that now that Megyn Kelly is moving to NBC, the execs there have offered her the opportunity to take the 1-2 time slot currently held by ‘Days of Our Lives‘, which would in affect cancel the show ending its 51 year run on network TV.

Kelly was offered three different potential roles at NBC by the network’s news chairman, Andrew Lack: anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show; play a role in NBC’s big events and special political coverage; and have a chance to host her own daytime news and discussion show. It’s that last one that directly impacts the fate of Days of Our Lives.
If Kelly does choose to do a daytime show, it’s going to need a timeslot. Days of Our Lives’ 1-2 p.m. slot is some juicy placement for a daytime show, and NBC could bump the soap opera to make room for Kelly. It wouldn’t be an unprecedented move by TV standards. ABC, for instance, canceled its own long-running soaps All My Children and One Life to Live in 2011 to make room for daytime talk shows like The Chew and The Revolution (which got canceled). If NBC chooses not to find a new spot for Days of Our Lives — which has been airing new episodes nearly every weekday since 1965 — then it might finally be the end for the soap.
