"The ratings were similarly sleepy <http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/19/media/megyn-kelly-alex-jones-interivew-ratings-nbc/index.html>, with Kelly’s third outing for NBC drawing just 3.5 million viewers—her Sunday night show’s worst ratings since its debut, trailing a re-run of *60 Minutes* by nearly 2 million. (Both shows got clobbered in the demo by a repeat of *America’s Funniest Home Videos*.) Still, it proved perfectly suitable for prime time, especially given how derivative it was of standard TV magazine formats. And while Jones of InfoWars has already yelled about the segment, he came off badly, assuming that was him speaking those words and not some hologram devised by the “deep state” he and the White House aides keep yelling about." http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/megyn-kelly-alex-jones-cage-match?mbid=social_twitter
