Megyn Kelly Is Ready for Her Morning Closeup
In a recent promo for the show, Ms. Kelly said she hoped NBC’s new 9 a.m. hour would be “fun and uplifting and empowering —
that makes people feel fists in the air at the end of it.”
Her show on Fox News often felt more like a fist to the face.
“If a news show and a talk show had a baby, that’s us,” she said of “Megyn Kelly Today,” which
starts Monday, in an interview from her fifth-floor corner office at Rockefeller Plaza.
“If I had sat there saying, ‘I have job security here at Fox News, they’re not going to fire me, they’re going to pay me very well,’
that would have been a decision based on fear,” she said.
“It’s newsy, and it’s talky.”
Ms. Kelly, the former Fox News prime-time host, then compared her 9 a.m. show to a cocktail.
“I think it’s the presentation of the whole me,” Ms. Kelly said.
