‘Megyn Kelly Today’ made its debut on NBC Monday, after weeks of aggressive promotion from the network and new host, who appeared on a number of talk shows and made frequent appearances on ‘Today’ in the lead up in the premiere.
The host, wearing a pink pussy-bow blouse, welcomed her studio audience and spoke about her experience transitioning from the anchor of a primetime news program to her own early morning show.
She also got a surprise appearance from husband Douglas Brunt, who just appended to be in the audience with a bouquet of roses for his wife.
Megyn said that his stopping by the show was a big deal because he is such a private person, this despite the fact that he has also made multiple appearances on ‘Today’ over the past few months to help his wife promote her new shows.
That first first show, ‘Megyn Kelly Tonight,’ premiered back in June on NBC, and ended being a ratings failure for the network.
