Megyn Kelly Is Said to Be Leaving Fox News for NBC

Megyn Kelly, who arrived at Fox News 12 years ago as a television news neophyte but rose to become one of its two biggest stars, has decided to leave the network to take on a broad new role at NBC News for an undisclosed amount, people briefed on the negotiations said on Tuesday.

The NBC News chairman, Andrew Lack, wooed Ms. Kelly away from Fox News by offering her a triple role in which she will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and take regular part in the network’s special political programming and other big-event coverage.

The move will herald a seismic shift in the cable news landscape, where Ms. Kelly had become the second-most watched host — after Bill O’Reilly of Fox News — and often helped define the national political debate, especially over the last year as Donald J. Trump regularly attacked her, at times in viciously personal terms.

Let the bidding begin for her replacement at the 9pm slot. Do I hear any opening names?

Tucker Carlson. Harris Faulkner.

"She can be the new perky Katie."

Who I see is back slumming it on The Today Show.

Whip her, strip her, and send her to my tent!

[Paula Zahn II.]

Every time I heard that name I thought it was some guy named Paul Azahn.

Megyn who?

or the equally gorgeous Harris Faulkner...

If we believe the Fox bashers, Laura can’t be a replacement candidate because Fox is a liberal progressive crap hole like all the rest.

A liberal in tart clothes is therefore the only type acceptable. The replacement decision is feelings not thoughts

I read that she wanted $20 million to stay at Fox...

Maybe Kelly will go the way of Deborah Norville at NBC.

Not a chance. Deborah Norville was pushed out because she is a Christian.

Oh, God no! “Judge Jenine”’s voice grates on my nerves.

There is a vast amount of talent at Fox and they will have their star, as MK disappears down the rabbit hole of the MSM.

"We'd like to welcome our newest member to the team here at NBC, Megyn Kelly. You know Megyn and I had a romantic affair while covering the Spanish Civil War with Ernest Hemmingway. She's a real firecracker and we look forward to an exciting time".

:) A goddess indeed. :) She refers to the ISIS people as “savages”. :)

[Bryanw92]

Not really going to miss her.

[ZULU]

I thought she was going to be working for Trump?

No. Anti-Trump newslady.

“So, you don’t think it’s appropriate for a presidential candidate accused by multiple women of harassment, or worse, to be asked about it?”

You mean, you think that the fact that they waited for years, in most cases, and only brought it up merely days before the election, and that most of it was discredited immediately, and that the MSM did not parade the discrediting — that is still legitimate to you?

I forgot — the one he called a pig, etc., she started it and called him much worse initially.
