Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Tops Cable Kingpin Bill O’Reilly For First Time For Entire Week

It might be known as the week that saw an earthquake at Fox News Channel as Megyn Kelly beat the almost unbeatable Bill O’Reilly in the key news demo last week. Yes, the 9 PM The Kelly File has topped 8 PM’s The O’Reilly Factor on FNC before both on individual nights and even for a full week. However, those single nights were mainly around the time Kelly’s show debuted in early October last year and on Election Night 2013. The Kelly File beat The Factor during the week of May 5, but O’Reilly himself wasn’t hosting that week. Last week’s victory was the first host-to-host face-off where Kelly came out the winner. From June 2-June 6, Kelly File drew 413,000 adults 25-54.

I used to watch Rush Limbaugh during lunch every day at work back in the early 90s. The owner of the shop would come into the break room and turn it on every day and sit there watch it during lunch. LOL

Hooo..friggin’ ray!

I recall his show on late at night in Central Time US. Either you ate a very late lunch or you worked in asia somewhere.

[usconservative]

You think O’Reilly’s Conservative? LOL! He’s a card-carrying Populist!

[cripplecreek]

We watched it every day at noon.

[posterchild]

Were you in the US? Was it from that day or a rerun from the night before?

[cripplecreek]

Michigan. It might have been from the night before or something.

[Bullish]

There was nothing at all like Rush in those days and he sure pissed the liberals off.

Good times compared to these.

[sauropod]

Don’t like either show.

I gave up on B O’R after he interviewed Obama in the first election. He was the ONE shot we had at getting a real tough questioning by a conservative. Instead, he fawned and kissed Obozo’s butt.

so true... after Obama won the election, i boycotted all network news--including FOX...

Shouldn't pics be required on this thread?

[Logical me]

Try Judge Jeanie on week end for a real trooper.

[Zathras]

Doing the job Leprechauns are too dumb to do.

I DVR BOR on Wednesday night to watch Denis Miller. Other four nights I alternate between Megyn and Sean. I watch the shows after the 10:00 pm local news.

[ElkGroveDan]

Congrats to Megyn, never heard of the other guy.

[bgill]

Who knew Bill was still on?

[Mastador1]

Well aside from her being easier to listen to, she’s a damn sight easier on the eyes.

[Parley Baer]

I like Judge Jeanines show the best. She does not hold any punches.

[Islander2]

[That alone had to draw a hugh crowd.]

OH, OH, you might have restarted something.
By saying hugh are you really series, or prolly only a little bit tired?

[MinuteGal]

Megyn is pulling ahead because she's learned how to overtalk and step on guests' lines with more charm and less smugness than the Bloviator.
