According to The Hollywood Reporter, the staff of the 9am hour of Today is likely to make up the core of Kelly’s staff.
The 10am hour of Today, hosted by Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford, is reportedly likely to stay as is.
Variety reports that Megyn Kelly’s new NBC morning show will take over Today’s 9am slot starting this fall, which will put her up against Live with Kelly Ripa and her just-announced new co-host Ryan Seacrest on ABC.
Her show will not be part of Today, which will cut back its Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie-hosted hours to 7-9am.
