Megyn Marie Kelly (/ˈmeɪɡən/; born November 18, 1970)[2] is an American commentator and media personality.[3] She hosts a talk show and podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, that airs live daily on the Triumph channel on SiriusXM. She was a talk show host at Fox News from 2004 to 2017 and a host and correspondent with NBC News from 2017 to 2018. She is also active in posting to her Instagram page and YouTube channel.
During her time at Fox News, Kelly hosted America Live and, before that, co-hosted America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer. From 2007 to 2012, the two reporters hosted Fox News Channel's New Year's Eve specials. Kelly also hosted The Kelly File from October 2013 to January 2017. In 2014, she was included in the TIME list of the 100 most influential people. Kelly left Fox News in January 2017 and joined NBC News. She started hosting the third hour of the morning show Today with her program titled Megyn Kelly Today in September 2017. The show was cancelled in October 2018 after a segment discussing blackface, and she left the network in January 2019.
On Twitter, a handful of people fumed that Kelly, a conservative and mother of three, had gotten a new show with expanded reach.
