An NBC spokeswoman said that “given the circumstances,” the network was airing repeats of “Megyn Kelly Today” on Thurs day and Friday. During a segment about Hal loween costumes on Tuesday, Kelly defended the use of black face while discussing a character on “Real Housewives of New York City” who darkened her face for a Diana Ross costume. She said it was acceptable when she was a kid when portraying a character. Social media condemnation was swift, and Kelly apologized to fellow NBC staffers in an email later in the day. Yet both NBC’s “Nightly News” and the “Today” show did stories on their colleague’s comment. A1 Roker said “she owes a big apology to peo ple of color across the country.” She opened Wednesday’s show by saying she was wrong and sorry for what she said. “I have never been a PC kind of person, but I do understand the value of being sensi tive to our history, particularly on race and ethnicity,” she said. The reference to political correctness in a discussion about blackface struck some critics as odd, along with the show’s cameras panning over the audi ence giving her a standing ova tion for nearly 20 seconds. Kelly jumped from Fox News Channel to NBC in early 2017, but it hasn’t been a comfortable fit. Her one-hour morning show has never caught on with view ers, except for a brief bump when she aggressively covered reports about sexual misconduct, and Kelly was said to be unhappy with the amount of lighter mate rial expected of a 9 a.m. show. Kelly did not respond to an email request seeking comment. She met with NBC executives within the past month about dissatisfaction with the show’s direction, according to a person close to Kelly who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss personnel matters.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). Had you set out to please them all, you would have been unsuccessful. But instead you create something strictly for your own pleasure and are sur prised at how many others get joy from your creation. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Speaking too much can be a function of fear, fear that if you say the thing, rejection or worse is in store. It takes confi dence to be so brief. You have a gift for getting to the point. This is an act of character and strength. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today it seems possible to be younger in every area of life. Youth is small, so gravity goes easy on it. Live the levity you feel, and if you don’t feel it, imagine it and live that. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Try ing to do things the “right way” is moving the power away from you and to the thing that is tell ing you what the “right way” is. The thing is often correct but not always. It’s a good time to check it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The move that puts you ahead today is a move toward infor mation. Inform yourself, as this will put you in a position of choice, while those who don’t know will default to one way or method. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll provide a kind, welcoming face to those who normally may not have such a thing in their realm. This is will be your gift to the world and also, because of what it elicits in others, your take from it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). You don’t have to be consistently one way to succeed. Loved ones are intrigued by your many facets and moods. Your determination and ambition seem to wax and wane with the moon and the tides. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mother said, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” And while dis cretion serves everyone well, it’s also possible to get some where by shaking things up. You do it with charm and will be amusedly received. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like attracts like. Use the principle to guide and inform yourself. For instance, those attracted to the troubled, intel ligent types are most likely troubled and intelligent. Every one is better for calling it what it is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll enjoy lo-fi fun and down- to-earth delights. As your sign- mate Humphrey Bogart once said, “A hot dog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Whatever you’re doing, don’t stop. What you need now more than anything else is momen tum. Getting into the flow of motion will begin any number of exciting happenings. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Is there a sincerer love than the love of food? You’ll challenge the premise in your own way today and in the process take a probing look at your relation ship with your sustenance.
