"Hoda and Kathie Lee love wine. The ‘Today’ show is mostly coffee. I would say if you had to put a drink on my show, it would be a mimosa. There’s stuff that’s a little naughty. Stuff in there that’s good for you. Some stuff in there that’s fun and sweet. But... with some effervescence."
Explained Megyn Kelly, quoted in "Megyn Kelly Is Ready for Her Morning Closeup/The former Fox News host says her daily NBC morning show, which starts Monday, is one she was 'born to do.' Others aren’t so sure" (NYT).
(A mimosa is half orange juice, half champagne... usually bad orange juice and bad champagne, of course.)

Ugh.
Only Deplorables would drink a Mimosa.
Spoken like the little girl she is.
Given Trump's earlier comment, Kelly was loath to liken her program to a Bloody Mary.
Yeah, but will she be wearing something sexy on her show?
Yecch! Not even a good metaphor and certainly not a good drink. If one is going to drink alcohol [aside from wine] it should be bourbon on the rocks or maybe Stoly with a beer chaser.
This voracious attention whore has passed her sell-by date. She claims the mantle of journalist but makes herself the center of every story. Her leaving FNC marginally improved their line-up as Tucker Carlson's show improved the time slot's ratings. The fakenews-centric Today show can have her and all her baggage and drama. It was very clear her turn doing the debates last year were an audition for a more "progressive" channel than Fox. She will be in good company with that Republican-hater Lauer and the dumb-as-a-brick Guthrie. Too bad the lovely and talented Tamron Hall had to give up the diversity spot for another bleached blonde bimbo, but that's the racist National Broadcasting Co. for you!
The great thing about a Mimosa is that you can swap out the champagne for vodka, and your viewers would be none the wiser.
They're Ready for Hillary to be a guest.
"A mimosa is half orange juice, half champagne"
Pour in some cranberry juice and you have an excellent drink. Sprite will do if you don't have champagne.
Kelly will end up, like other pretty vacuous blonde news readers, on Discovery ID, introducing murder stories. Paul Zahn is there and a couple of others.
(A mimosa is half orange juice, half champagne... usually bad orange juice and bad champagne, of course.)
Yes, well spotted--a mimosa is supposed to be high class and fancy but your typical brunch mimosa (available as a "bottomless refill" many places) is really just a sad low-grade knockoff. You're better off just ordering a decent champagne or prosecco. Get a Bellini, a Tintoretto, or a prosecco pomander if you want to feel sophisticated but actually drink something decent. The real thing is better than a crummy knock off, and it's often better to have nothing than to have a crummy version of something that should be good--especially true for "status goods."
Probably a more-apt metaphor than Mrs. Kelly intended!
MeAgain Kelly desperately searches for relevance at the bottom of a bottle of Baby Duck "champagne". Good luck with that.
Nobody knows what women will watch until they try it.
I'd go with women's sexual health. There's an endless supply of experts to have on.
Absolut Train Wreck.
She must be chasing the white sorority girl demographic.
Michael K:
I love those murder shows. Especially the one hosted by Lester Holt, aka "Dr. Head From . . . the Future!" With that creepy guy doing the narration, and babe-licious Maureen Maher in her short leather jackets.
Those shows relax me. I usually fall asleep while watching them.
Drinking in the morning! Not that I would ever do such a barbaric thing /sarcasm.....but....if I did. A Ramos Fizz. And I don't even like Gin.
An Amaretto milkshake is pretty soothing as well when you have had a bit too much fun the previous evening. Or...so I have heard ;-P
Mimosas are trite and a waste of champagne.
The Megan Cocktail
Ever so easy, this is measured in UK shots, just mix all together gently, if no champagne a cheap sparkling wine is adequate. Tastes very sweet, and adds that little more alcohol content. Make sure it is served chilled and in a Champagne flute. One cherry to dress.
Ingredients:
1 part Cherry liqueur
1 part Cranberry juice
top up Champagne
1 Cherry
Happy Megan recipe
1 - 2 bottles Everclear® alcohol
2 liters Hawaiian Punch®
2 liters ginger ale
1 liter orange juice
Combine all ingredients in a punch bowl. Adjust to taste.

Some enterprising bartender should create a "Bloody Meghan"
Punch drunk.
"I love those murder shows."
Me, too. We watched a really nasty one last night. The bad guy killed the young victim, then cut his body up into 100 pieces and threw them in the bayou for the gators to eat.
Then he put the girlfriend in a trunk and locked it except he would open it and rape her.
Great show.
For the Bloody Megyn you add cranberry juice, haven't I already covered this?
Elvis Costello - Green Shirt
If wasn't almost 40 years old, I would say it was inspired by Megyn.
There's a smart young woman on a light blue screen
Who comes into my house every night
And she takes all the red, yellow, orange and green
And she turns them into black and white
But you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Better cut off all identifying labels
Before they put you on the torture table
'Cause somewhere in the "Quisling Clinic"
There's a shorthand typist taking seconds over minutes
She's listening in to the Venus line
She's picking out names
I hope none of them are mine
But you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Never said I was a stool pigeon
I never said I was a diplomat
Everybody is under suspicion
But you don't want to hear about that
'Cause you tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Better send a begging letter to the big investigation
Who put these fingerprints on my imagination?
You tease, and you flirt
And you shine all the buttons on your green shirt
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
You can please yourself but somebody's gonna get it
Just trying to stir up some interest in her show. I don't think it's working.
I think her ratings will be terrible so she needs a drink for that situation. Mimosa isn't up to it. But you can make drinks with several colors if the liquors each have a different specific gravity. So she could have Grenadine (red) on the bottom, then Blue Curacao. Brandy on top to face the ratings. After awhile one color would sink into the other creating a dully colored mess. The Turncoat.
Just for millions she left us
Just for a bi-coastie smile
