"Kill the Fatted Calf" is the fourth episode of the second season of the American drama television series The Morning Show, inspired by Brian Stelter's 2013 book Top of the Morning. It is the fourteenth overall episode of the series and was written by Ali Vingiano and Scott Troy, and directed by Jessica Yu. It was released on Apple TV+ on October 8, 2021.

The series follows the characters and culture behind a network broadcast morning news program, The Morning Show. After allegations of sexual misconduct, the male co-anchor of the program, Mitch Kessler, is forced off the show. It follows Mitch's co-host, Alex Levy, and a conservative reporter Bradley Jackson, who attracts the attention of the show's producers after a viral video. In the episode, the staff competes to moderate the upcoming Presidential Debate, and Mitch helps Paola with her documentary.

The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the performances, but expressed confusion with Daniel's actions.
