Megyn Kelly TODAY Megyn Kelly invited one of her sharpest critics, a Jezebel writer, to her Friday morning NBC show. Kelly, who was being a good sport, hailed the writer, Bobby Finger, a "rockstar" as the two hugged awkwardly on live TV. One of NBC host Megyn Kelly's sharpest critics, Jezebel's Bobby Finger, was invited to attend her morning show, "Megyn Kelly Today," on Friday and praised by the former Fox News host as the two hugged awkwardly during a live segment. With headlines like, "Megyn Kelly Today, Today: Not Even Goldie Hawn Could Save This One From Being Dull" and "Megyn Kelly Today, Today: Why Is Kevin O'Leary Here Talking About Sexual Harassment?," Finger has closely documented the new show in his humorous daily blog, "Megyn Kelly Today, Today." After Kelly personally invited Finger to attend the show, she announced his presence to the audience, saying his commentary "hasn't always been kind," but that she considers it required reading. "My staff and I have become obsessed with this man," Kelly said, calling Finger a "rockstar." "His opinion and approval has come to mean a lot to us, but we don't have it." Kelly's move from primetime political coverage on Fox to daytime TV has been met with widespread criticism, while awkward clips of her segments have repeatedly gone viral, and her ratings have remained relatively low. Kelly found Finger in the audience and he stood up to give her an awkward hug over the back of his audience chair. Finger, who promised to maintain the daily blog "until we are no longer able to watch Megyn Kelly Today without feeling like there will be no tomorrow," wrote about his experience attending the show on Friday in what he said would be his last blog post.
