(CNN) Two years after she signed with the network amid much fanfare, Megyn Kelly and NBC have officially parted ways. Talks about ending "Megyn Kelly Today" started before the blackface remarks, due to underperforming ratings and growing tensions between Kelly and NBC executives. At NBC, Kelly hoped she would be able to fulfill the softer role she had long envisioned for herself. "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly" was poorly received and ended after a short run in the summer of 2017. Three days after her blackface remarks on air, NBC announced that it had canceled "Megyn Kelly Today."
