According to Paul Bond at the Hollywood Reporter, MSNBC President Phil Griffin can't believe the ratings success that is Megyn Kelly's new show, The Kelly File, over at Fox News.

After a modest start on Monday night in which The Kelly File came up short against Bond's The Rachel Maddow Show, Kelly surged to life Tuesday with nearly double Maddow's audience in the critical 25-54 demo.

"...you guys should be doing some investigations; I have never seen it in all my years of cable -- same overnight, same everything. And they doubled their ratings in a day? It is impossible." Griffin [said].

The Reporter notes that as yet, Nielsen, the company responsible for tracking television viewership, has not responded to Griffin's call for an investigation into their published ratings.
