I’ll admit I watched last week’s well-hyped, prime-time special on Fox: “Megyn Kelly Presents.” Luckily, I don’t have to admit that I liked it. I didn’t. Not unexpectedly, it was a self-serving, career move by both Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump. A show-biz win-win for two players who, ironically, deserve each other.
When you find yourself yelling follow-up questions at the screen, you know that Trump is still being Trump–and doing anything to become president. And Kelly is still being Kelly–and doing anything to become Barbara Walters/Oprah Winfrey.
BTW, Trump wasn’t Kelly’s only guest–just her biggest “get.” She also chatted with actors Michael Douglas and Laverne Cox, as well as Robert Shapiro, who’s back in the news thanks to the O.J. Simpson-case revival on FX. And speaking of Shapiro, I wanted Kelly to ask him his response to his Simpson-case portrayal by John Travolta. In short, “So, Robert, what’s your reaction to Travolta portraying you as vain and stupid?”
