It’s a bittersweet farewell for Megyn Kelly. Yesterday, The Kelly File host discussed her exit from FOX News and upcoming move to NBC, via The Hollywood Reporter.
Yesterday, we reported Kelly was moving to NBC after working at FOX News for more than a decade. Her new job at NBC will entail a one hour daytime program and a Sunday evening newsmagazine in addition to breaking news contributions.
On The Kelly File, the long-time news anchor said she is leaving FOX News in order to maintain a more healthy work-life balance:
Finally tonight, a personal and professional note from me to you. After more than a dozen years at Fox News, I have decided to pursue a new challenge. This was a tough decision for me because I love this show, our staff, my crew, my colleagues here at Fox and you, all of you. Those who write me the lovely hand-written notes asking about my kids, and even those who very rarely complain on Twitter about our coverage after a show or a presidential debate. … The truth is I need more of that in my life, in particular when it comes to my children, who are 7, 5 and 3.”
According to The Wrap, FOX offered Kelly a reported $100 million to stay at the network for four more years. Instead, Kelly chose to move to NBC. The financial details of her deal with the Peacock Network have not been disclosed.
The final episode of The Kelly File will air this Friday, January 6th.
What do you think? Are you a fan of Megyn Kelly? Are you sad she’s leaving FOX News? Will you watch her on NBC?
Her greener grass is always there for the taking philosophy is her bad part, along with her adding just a touch too much personality … and then there’s her hyping.
But otherwise she is brilliant and consistently does an excellent job. All she needs is to control the ego and hype. Then, should those impossibles be possible, she can be gold.
I predicted her departure after she viciously attacked our PEOTUS. Her opinions are extremely biased and she was out of place in FOX. I’m a professional driver and listen to FOX all day, except during her program. Not at all sad to see her leave.
She’s been auditioning for this job for the last 9 months. She’s been leaning towards the left in her commentary for awhile. There are plenty of other incredible women at FOX who can replace her. I wish her well.
I agree,she is very biased on her oplnions.
Agree totally
Really sad to see Megyn Kelly leaving Fox News and moving on for her new gig on NBC News.
