Megyn Kelly Mocks CNN's Podcast Copycat Move

0:00It's March 25th. From red carpets to breaking stories, this is entertainment and celebrity news, powered by AI. Megan Kelly has taken a swing at CNN for trying to copy the casual vibe of popular podcasts. She says the network is pushing anchors like Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper to act more like digital talk show hosts to boost their ratings. Kelly calls it a desperate move born out of jealousy over podcasts or success. CNN wrote out changes like Cooper, sitting at a desk with road up sleeves, big microphones, and guests in a looser setup. Tapper even broadcasts the first hour of his show from his cluttered office desk, claiming it's where real work happens. Kelly and her guest peers Morgan could not stop laughing about it on their podcast. They pointed out how CNN stars are imitating the independent style but falling short, with Morgan doving it the highest form of flattery. Morgan highlighted the shift in viewers, noting his kids and younger audiences skipped traditional TV for YouTube channels from hosts like him.

This back and forth underscores how audiences crave unfiltered opinions, leaving traditional network scrambling to catch up in the podcast era.
