Megyn Kelly's first interview in her new role as an NBC News host may be a coveted one-on-one with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The network's chairman Andy Lack flew to Russia this week to try to secure the interview, according insiders.
He will appeal to Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov to take part in the sit-down which would make Kelly's hotly anticipated debut on the network even more memorable.
The 46-year-old was released early from her contract with rival Fox News in March after she signed a $15million, two-show deal with NBC.

Does anyone really care whom Megyn 0’Colley Kelly interviews?
[One of Putin’s demands should be that she sleeps with him. I wonder if she would to get the interview?]
Considering how she’s gotten her past jobs at Fox, I’m sure she would be more than willing.
I think she should be flying to N.K. at this moment to interview Kim. If she doesn’t leave soon, she may be too late.
With her haughty attitude that should be the spark that sets off WWIII.
I’d laugh if her first co-host on NBC ended up being Bill O’Reilly ;-)
We’re sending a hooker over there.
I don’t. And I don’t care about gay/lesbian/transgender perversion either. But the FR gays and lesbians keep posting that crap anyhow. Trolling for dates, I guess.
Will her first question be, “mr. Putin, do you hate women? Don’t you have a history of mistreating women?”
Would be cool if he says no.
Don’t know how the rest of you feel about it, but I personally will not watch 5 seconds of her now or in the future.
Homosexuals on FR? If that was the case, wouldn't they be sticking up for the poor, put-upon trannys instead of pointing out their illness?
I suppose who she interviews will matter to some, but not to us! We will never watch her again, and especially not on NBC!
Flashback: ABC’s Diane Sawyer Dished With Assad Over His Love of Shania Twain and IPods
By Scott Whitlock | September 3, 2013
While covering Bashar al-Assad on Tuesday, ABC’s Martha Raddatz described the Syrian dictator as “looking poised and immaculately dressed.” This light-hearted description is reminiscent of some of the softball questions asked by Diane Sawyer on February 5, 2007. The then-Good Morning America anchor dished with the man who, in August, allegedly used chemical weapons on his own people: “You like video games?...Do you have an iPod?”
After the dictator announced that he did, Sawyer sounded more like an Access Hollywood host: “And you’re a country music fan. Faith Hill? Shania Twain?” She then moved on to the topics of what films Assad enjoyed. The fan of chemical weapons and gassing his own people touted The Pursuit of Happyness. He blurbed, “It tells you a story...Maybe there’s many beneficial things to learn from, about real life.” [See video below. MP3 audio here.]
Sawyer also got personal regarding Assad’s study in Britain:
DIANE SAWYER: And you met your wife there? But you decided to marry when you were there?
BASHAR AL-ASSAD: No. After I came back.
SAWYER: After you came back.
ASSAD: Yeah, yeah. We decided together. I didn’t decide, we decided.
SAWYER: I stand corrected.
The next day, February 6, 2007, Sawyer offered a fawning interview with Asma Assad. The co-host praised Mrs. Assad as an every woman: “After the small wedding, she stayed private, spending three months traveling quietly, sometimes anonymously in jeans and a t-shirt to meet the people of her country, take note of hopes and needs, sitting among the farmers to ask about their crops, and devise plans for micro-loans she passionately tries to promote today.”
A more modern assessment would be less charitable towards Mrs. Assad:
She was the long-legged London beauty who brought a touch of glamour to a one-party state steeped in repression and violence.
...
As her country crumbles, Asma - who met her future husband when they both lived in London - splashed out on a collection of Bohemian crystal chandeliers each costing in the tens of thousands of dollars from Prague, according to The Mail on Sunday.
She also regularly orders Western food in bulk for her three children as she doesn’t want them to eat only Syrian food, according to an insider. And in photographs posted on her Instagram account, she is shown wearing a new blue $150 Jawbone UP on her right wrist - a device designed to help wearers keep track of how many steps they take and calories they burn.
