Megyn, the unpopular and ratings-challenged anchor, took on Tom on the “Today” show April 30, saying: “I will say that the same thing did happen at FOX. And the truth is, you don’t know what you don’t know.”

Her comments turned a powerful contingent of Tom supporters against her — many lobbying to replace her with Rachel Maddow, the news division’s “golden girl.” “She can do no wrong, and the bosses would love to add her to the morning show,” a TV insider spilled to The National ENQUIRER.

Meanwhile, Megyn’s “Today” show ratings are sinking like the Titanic, and it’s time to toss her overboard! That’s the cry of advertisers and NBC colleagues, sources said — with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford leading the way as their show flounders in Megyn’s wake!

NBC insiders are not only beefing about Megyn’s ratings, but also her paydays and personal perks! After splitting from FOX, Megyn negotiated a sweet $23 million salary, rolled up more than $10 million in studio renovations and other costs, and infuriating staffers who said she runs roughshod over them.

Fired chief writer Kevin Bleyer sent a memo to colleagues claiming mean Megyn fast-tracked his departure after he complained about her closest allies' abusive conduct. “Megyn harps on about people shining a light in dark places,” sniped an NBC source. “But you do that on her show, you get fired! It’s a joke.”

Sources claimed combined pressure from NBC staffers and advertisers unhappy with tumbling ratings have the network looking to cut bait with the anchor. “They’’d love to see Rachel take her place,” a source spilled. “Megyn might be gone by summer!”
