Megyn Kelly’s other show that vanished
Q: Megyn Kelly’s weekday hour of “Today” is over now, but what happened to the weekly primetime show she was doing for NBC? – Alex Howard, via e-mail
A: “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly” quietly went away after the eight episodes that aired in the summer of 2017, which had the extra purpose of being a prelude to the start of her “Today” run that September. The program drew immediate attention, if not overwhelming ratings, for Kelly’s interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones – and even though it was meant to resume after the NFL season and the Winter Olympics, it never did. Still, Kelly did make prime-time appearances during the past summer with reports for “Dateline NBC.”
Q: I’ve heard that there’s going to be another crossover story among The CW’s superhero shows. When will that be on? – Dave Wolfe, Buffalo, N.Y.
A: Bearing the theme “Elseworlds,” the three-night, three-show event starts Dec. 9 on “The Flash,” which will exchange nights with “Supergirl” that week ... with “Arrow” in the middle. A lot of the details are being kept secret – which is nothing new for the crossover tales – but Tyler Hoechlin will return as Superman and “Grimm” alum Elizabeth (“Bitsie”) Tulloch will make her first appearance as Lois Lane. Another major aspect of the saga will be the introduction of Ruby Rose as Batwoman. Even though it’s not participating in that story (as far as we know), “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” reportedly has its own surprise in store that week. It certainly has its own cast of superheroes, so anything is possible there. Send questions of general interest via email to tvpipeline@gracenote.com.
