Q: Megyn Kelly’s weekday hour of “Today” is over now, but what happened to the weekly primetime show she was doing for NBC?

— Alex Howard, via email

A: “Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly” quietly went away after the eight episodes that aired in summer 2017, which had the extra purpose of being a prelude to the start of her “Today” run that September.

The program drew immediate attention, if not overwhelming ratings, for Kelly’s interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones — and even though it was meant to resume after the NFL season and the Winter Olympics, it never did. Still, Kelly did make prime-time appearances during the past summer with reports for “Dateline NBC.”

Q: I’ve heard that there’s going to be another crossover story among The CW’s superhero shows. When will that be on?

— Dave Wolfe, Buffalo, New York

A: Bearing the theme “Elseworlds,” the three-night, three-show event starts Dec. 9 on “The Flash,” which will exchange nights with “Supergirl” that week … with “Arrow” in the middle. A lot of the details are being kept secret — which is nothing new for the crossover tales — but Tyler Hoechlin will return as Superman and “Grimm” alum Elizabeth (“Bitsie”) Tulloch will make her first appearance as Lois Lane. Another major aspect of the saga will be the introduction of Ruby Rose as Batwoman.

Even though it’s not participating in that story (as far as we know), “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” reportedly has its own surprise in store that week. It certainly has its own cast of superheroes, so anything is possible there.

Q: I see that Rami Malek is playing Queen’s Freddie Mercury in the movie “Bohemian Rhapsody.” Did his work on “Mr. Robot” help him get that role?

— Judy Forrest, Port St. Lucie, Florida

A: There’s no question that Malek’s Emmy-winning work on the USA Network series has raised his profile in the entertainment industry, and while he still has to pass the filmmakers’ tests to be deemed “right” for a big-screen project (as with any performer), his fame and acclaim from television in recent years surely didn’t hurt in his landing the much-sought Mercury role. The same situation worked for Malek when he assumed Dustin Hoffman’s earlier part in the recent remake of “Papillon.”

Q: Watching the movie “State of Play” on cable, it looked like Katy Mixon of “American Housewife” singing in a really short scene. Was it?

— Suzanne Poster, Columbus, Ohio

A: It was. That 2009 film actually pre-dated (by a year) Mixon’s television run as Melissa McCarthy’s sister on “Mike & Molly,” and even while doing that show, she continued to work in movies including “Drive Angry,” “Minions” (in voice only) and “Hell or High Water.”

Q: It was great to see Carol Burnett talking about other funny women on Turner Classic Movies. What was the last movie she made?

— Beth Engel, via email

A: In theatrical-film terms, that would be “Post Grad,” a 2009 comedy that featured a number of other familiar home-screen faces including Alexis Bledel (“Gilmore Girls,” “The Handmaid’s Tale”) and Jane Lynch (“Glee,” “Hollywood Game Night”). Much more recently, Burnett appeared in one of Hallmark Channel’s “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” TV movies about sleuthing Postal workers.

Q: I know the finale of “The Fugitive” was one of the top-rated television episodes of its time. More than 50 years later, how does that number hold up now?

— Michael Stark, Norman, Oklahoma

A: It’s still up there, partially because in this age of so many networks and such fragmented viewership, it seems next to impossible that anything but an event such as the Super Bowl could score such a big audience. To be precise, 72 percent of all televisions in use that 1967 summer night were tuned to ABC and fugitive Richard Kimble’s (David Janssen) ultimate showdown with the One-Armed Man (Bill Raisch) … amounting to almost 26 million people.

Topping the list of most-watched episodes now is the finale of “M*A*S*H,” with the last episodes of “Cheers” and “Seinfeld” and the “Who Shot J.R.?” reveal on “Dallas” also beating “The Fugitive” in later years. (Worth mentioning: More people had television sets by then.)
