Did Megyn Kelly take her Jane Fonda attack too far?

After she attacked Jane Fonda on the air for criticizing her, will Megyn Kelly have trouble booking other celebs for "Megyn Kelly Today"? Some of NBC's higher echelon names are afraid she will, according to the New York Post, which reports network execs were "stunned" by Megyn's rant. Megyn went after Jane recently after a jokey exchange between the veteran actress and her "Grace and Frankie" costar Lily Tomlin during a chat on "Today" with Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie. At the time, Lily teased Jane about having had had a facelift at one point, to which Jane replied, "who are you, Megyn Kelly?" It was a reference to a previous interview Megyn had done with Jane in which Megyn pressed for more info about Jane's plastic surgery history than she did for details about her new film, "Our Souls at Night." In response to Jane and Lily's lighthearted mention of the incident, Megyn announced on the air she felt it was "time to address [Jane's] 'poor me' routine." She then denounced Jane for more than three minutes, insinuating that her anti-Vietnam War protests were unpatriotic and pointing to the infamous "Hanoi Jane" moment. "By the way, [Jane] still says she's 'not proud' of America," Megyn said. "So the moral indignation is a little much." Some folks think Megyn's rant was a little much, too. On "The View," Joy Behar griped, "To drag the Vietnam War into a plastic-surgery conversation is a real stretch, Megyn." Speaking to the Post, an insider explained: "The problem is that nobody at NBC is controlling Megyn. They paid her more than $20 million to host the 9 a.m. show, and she's been given too much power. But the fact remains: You can't say those things, or be so aggressive, on morning TV. Plus, Megyn was already having trouble booking celebrities — so how is she ever going to book other stars if they disagree and she goes on air later and trashes them?" According to the Post, Debra Messing has said she regrets promoting "Will & Grace" via an interview with Megyn. More than one publicist has apparently also told the Post "they are disinclined" to send clients to her hour of "Today." A spokesperson for "Today" declined to comment.
