After Her On-Air “Blackface” Comments #MegynKellyCanceledParty Is Trending (& the Gifs are PERFECT!)

By Trey Speegle on October 25, 2018 6:01 am

Variety reported last night that Megyn Kelly‘s exit from the 9AM hour of The Today Show appears to be all but done. CNN Business says Kelly’s show will be ending. Negotiations about the end date and other details are still underway. Kelly will not be hosting the program today, and she is unlikely to return later.

Kelly has also parted ways with her talent agency, CAA, and she has hired an attorney.

Kelly’s offensive remarks about blackface Halloween costumes on Tuesday have raised more questions about her future at NBC. During the offending segment on Tuesday, Kelly said it was OK when she was growing up for white people to dress up as black characters, and she spoke out against a controversy that erupted last year over a reality star who portrayed Diana Ross.

“But what is racist? Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character.“

Later Kelly said sorry to her colleagues in an email:

“Today is one of those days where listening carefully to other points of view, including from friends and colleagues, is leading me to rethink my own views.“

The controversy made national news and Kelly started her show on Wednesday by apologizing for her comments,

“I want to begin with two words, I’m sorry… The country feels so divided and I have no wish to add to that pain and offense. I believe this is a time for more understanding, more love, more sensitivity and honor… Thank you for listening and for helping me listen too.“

Too late. Meanwhile, Twitter has been planning #MegynKellyCanceledParty with hilarious gifs and videos. Nothing funny about what she said, but try to not spend the day scrolling through them and smiling. Here are some of the best.
