Megyn Kelly grew tired of combative hard news reporting and now wants “to help people the way Oprah did” on her new NBC show, sources tell Page Six.
After signing a deal with NBC worth between $12 million and $15 million, Kelly’s plans for her new show have been shrouded in secrecy.
NBC brass are interviewing executive producers in the hopes that Kelly will debut in September at either 9 or 10a.m. in front of a live studio audience.
A source told us, “There was a lot of tough news to report on her show at Fox News. A lot of combative interviewing, going after people. Doing that every night was difficult. Megyn feels she has more to offer. She wants to help people the way Oprah did, and do something more positive. She’ll be focusing on issues and bringing in real people as well as celebrities. Plus, she has a sense of humor and she wants to use that.”
Kelly told Variety in 2015, “Barbara Walters has retired, Diane Sawyer left her anchor role. Oprah has moved to the OWN network and is doing a different thing now. So why not me?” The source added, “Megyn will have the Sunday night show on NBC to scratch that itch. That’s where you’ll see the big interviews and stories.”

So is she now identifying as a black female?
She’s quite a few buckets short of the Colonel’s Finest, then.
“Start eating more... a lot more.”............
Not to mention she will need to work on her tan as well, she has a looooooooooooooooooong way to go.
Um...I’m sorry...smegyn who???
This show will bomb and Kelly will be looking for a new gig by October, if she lasts that long.
I want a Ferrari 458 Italia.
That isn’t going to happen either.
Folks let’s give her a chance. My opinion is that NBC wants to subtly go after more conservative viewers.
She wants to be a fat black woman?
That's a good one!
Just what we need, another loud-mouthed intellectually stunned self-absorbed whack job. About the only thing Me-Again Kelly has going for her is that she is only half Oprah’s size.
She presents an easy to talk to, non-judgemental vibe.
Me-again not so much.
Megyn, you cannot garner enough “white guilt” to be the next oprah.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !!!
Sorry Megyn, your skin isn’t dark enough. You’ll never capture the “Most of my best friends are black” afternoon bon bon munchers.
She’s going to be one big FLOP. I can’t stand Oprah, but she is successful....Megyn ain’t gonna be no Oprah.
Megyn’ll make money on Inside Edition. She’ll just be embarrassingly marginalized and her staff terrorized.
She was the biggest harridan on the network
Now she wants to avoid the confrontation
Hypocrite
