Today on 'Megyn Kelly Today': Megyn Kelly Dances to Pitbull
READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Today on "Megyn Kelly Today," Megyn Kelly opened up her show explaining that today is "Bring Your Parent to Work Day."
"I invited my mother and she said 'No,'" Megyn alleged.
She claimed the reason her mother denied her invite to the "Megyn Kelly Today" show was because she has three doctors appointments.
"Rejected!" Megyn yelled.
Megyn then talked about how "the Chinese" "lost control of a space lab" and it's going to crash to Earth between now and April.
"Good luck. Hope you live," she added.
After that, Megyn talked about how David Letterman's biggest regret in life is not having more children. She said she thought she never wanted children but changed her mind after meeting her husband Doug. She then made an odd remark about women having babies when they're a bit older.
"There's a reason why God cuts you off. Exhausted!" she said.
Megyn later talked about some study suggesting being hugged by a stranger helps reduce feelings of loneliness. She then proceeded to caress an audience member before shifting gears and rubbing them really hard.
After her morning breakdown, Megyn welcomed Hoda to the show and the two discussed how much they hate the new iOS. Megyn is no fan of iOS 11, suggesting Apple makes updates to slow down the iPhone to "force you to get a new phone."
"This is a $1,000 mistake!" Megyn said.
Things got serious when Hoda talked about her adoption and Megyn said Doug has a motto: "It's never too soon to start the life you want." She then launched into a story about having a watergun fight at a waterpark with her son and some other boys.
"There is no joy greater than this," she said, adding, "There's no better joy than [being] a drowned rat at a waterpark."
Hoda then said she loves music and Pitbull's hit song "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" started playing. Both Megyn and Hoda got up and started dancing, a truly bizarre moment that will mark this truly bizarre daytime talkshow. During the dancing segment, Megyn grabbed audience members to dance. They were way better at dancing than Megyn. They were pretty good, actually.
After the break, Hoda stuck around for an important topic: Wine.
They sat down with Ray Isle from "Food & Wine" and he explained "how to order wine." He showed them how to open a bottle of wine. Hoda said she likes screw cap wine.
"I have no idea what to order," Megyn said. "I love wine how do I figure it out?"
She then asked how much "should we spend? More than $20?"
Ray suggested ordering a $40 bottle of wine at a restaurant because restaurants usually double the price of wine. Later on, Megyn was blown away by a $15 bottle of wine.
When the wine segment ended, Megyn announced Olympian Michael Phelps to the show. Though she teased he was "ready to get personal," the interview was ultimately extremely boring.
Next up on Megyn's "grit" segment was Shaholly Ayers, an amputee without a right arm. She's also a model, who has walked New York Fashion Week six times. It was a less boring segment than Michael Phelps but still pretty boring.
The next feature was called "Settle for More" and it was about "Hot Chicken Takeover," a restaurant hiring people with criminal backgrounds, giving them a second chance. One of the employees who came to speak with Megyn said she has an "alternative resume."
"I love that," Megyn said.
The show came to an end and Megyn didnt' speak with Kathy Lee Gifford and Hoda. But she tease that Greg Kinnear will be on tomorrow. She said that while fanning herself.
Watch Megyn and Hoda drink wine below.
