, and she left the network in January 2019.

Early life

Kelly was born in Champaign, Illinois,[4][5] to Edward Francis Kelly, Ed.D.,[6] who taught in the School of Education at the State University of New York at Albany, and Linda (née DeMaio), a homemaker.[7] She is of Italian and German descent on her mother's side and Irish descent on her father's.[7] She was raised Catholic.[8] Her father died of a heart attack in 1985 when she was 15 years old.[9][10]

Kelly attended Tecumseh Elementary School in suburban Syracuse, New York. When she was 9, her family moved to Delmar, New York, a suburb of Albany,[11][5] where she attended Bethlehem Central High School.[12] She obtained an undergraduate degree in political science from the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University in 1992[7][13] and earned a J.D. from Albany Law School in 1995.[14]

Kelly was an associate attorney in the Chicago office of law firm Bickel & Brewer LLP. In fall 1996, she co-wrote an article, "The Conflicting Roles of Lawyer as Director", for the American Bar Association's journal, Litigation.[15] She later worked at Jones Day for nine years, where one of her clients was the credit bureau Experian.[16]

Television career

Early career

In 2003, Kelly moved to

Jonathan Klein later said he regretted not hiring Kelly as a reporter at the beginning of her career, because she was "the one talent you'd want to have from somewhere else".[18]

2004–2017: Fox News

In 2004, Kelly applied for a job at

Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld. In 2010, viewership for America Live increased by 20%, averaging 1,293,000 viewers, and increased by 4% in the 25–54 age demographic, averaging 268,000 viewers.[22] In December 2010, Kelly hosted a New Year's Eve special with Bill Hemmer.[23]

Kelly reporting during Fox's 2012 Republican National Convention coverage

Kelly received media attention for her coverage of the results of the 2012 United States presidential election. On election night, Fox News' decision desk projected that Obama would win the state of Ohio along with a second term after part of the results had been released. In response to Karl Rove's opposition to this projection, Kelly walked backstage to the decision desk on camera and spoke with them; she also asked Rove, "Is this just math that you do as a Republican to make yourself feel better? Or is this real?"[24][25][26][27]

Kelly left

maternity leave. That October she began hosting a new nightly program, The Kelly File.[28] The Kelly File was occasionally the channel's ratings leader, topping The O'Reilly Factor.[29][30]

In December 2013, Kelly commented on a Slate article on The Kelly File: "For all you kids watching at home, Santa just is white, but this person is just arguing that maybe we should also have a black Santa," adding, "But Santa is what he is, and just so you know, we're just debating this because someone wrote about it." Kelly also said that Jesus was a white man later in the segment.[31] Soon after, Jon Stewart,[32] Stephen Colbert,[33] Rachel Maddow,[34] Josh Barro,[35] and others satirized her remarks.[36] Two days later, she said on the air that her original comments were "tongue-in-cheek",[37][38][39][40][41] and that the skin color of Jesus is "far from settled".[42]

In June 2015, Kelly interviewed

Ferguson riots coverage.[43]

In the

Iowa January 28 debate that she moderated.[50] After the debate and off-camera, Ted Cruz said that Kelly had referred to Trump off-camera as "Voldemort", though Fox News denied it.[51] Bill Maher complimented Kelly as being "so much better" than the candidates who attended the January 28 debate and argued that she was a more viable candidate for the Republican nomination.[52]

In an interview with

2005 audio recording gained widespread social media reaction.[60]

In March 2016, it was announced that Kelly would host a one-hour prime time special on the

sweeps month.[62] It acquired 4.8 million viewers, but placed third in the ratings.[63] Gabriel Sherman wrote of the stakes for Kelly as "high", elaborating that with Kelly being in the final year of her contract with Fox and having confirmed her ambitions, "[t]he special was essentially a public interview for her next job."[64]

In July 2016, amid allegations of sexual harassment on the part of Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, Kelly was reported to have confirmed that she herself was also subjected to his harassment.[65][66] Two days after the report, Ailes resigned from Fox News and his lawyer, Susan Estrich, publicly denied the charge.[67]

During her coverage of the

The Huffington Post commented, "If you're a woman on national television reporting on a political event from hot, humid Cleveland, wearing a weather-appropriate outfit makes you the target of an endless stream of sexist commentary."[69] In September, it was reported that Kelly would be collaborating with Michael De Luca to produce Embeds, a scripted comedy about reporters covering politics, to be aired on a streaming service.[70][71]
Kelly appeared on the cover of the February 2016 issue of Vanity Fair.[72] In 2016, she was an honoree for Variety's Power of Women for her addressing child abuse.[73]

2017–2018: NBC News

In late 2016, Kelly was rumored to be actively considering other news networks aside from Fox News, since her contract was a few months from expiring.[74][75] In January 2017, The New York Times reported that she would leave Fox News for a "triple role" at NBC News, which would include a daytime talk show, a Sunday-night newsmagazine, and becoming a correspondent for major news events and political coverage.[76][77] She departed Fox News on January 6, 2017, after the last episode of The Kelly File was aired.[78][79] In January 2017, People quoted an unspecified source that Kelly remained under a non-compete clause with Fox until July 2017 which would prevent her from working for a competitor until the clause expired, unless it would be canceled prior.[80]

On June 2, 2017, Kelly interviewed Russian president Vladimir Putin, first in a panel discussion she moderated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and later in a one-on-one interview for the premiere episode of NBC's Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly, which aired June 4, 2017.[81][82][83] Kelly's daytime talk show, Megyn Kelly Today, premiered in September 2017.[84][85][86][87]

Kelly was being paid reportedly between $15 million and $20 million a year at NBC.[88] After an initial run of eight episodes in the summer of 2017, NBC decided to bring her newsmagazine show Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly back for summer 2018 after a hiatus for football and the Winter Olympics, but only periodically. However, this return never materialized.[89][90] Instead, Kelly continued to report stories for Dateline NBC during the summer of 2018, continuing her work for the show which she joined in 2017.[91]

On October 23, 2018, Kelly was criticized for on-air remarks she made on Megyn Kelly Today related to the appropriateness of blackface as part of Halloween costumes. She recollected that "when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up like a character", and defended Luann de Lesseps's use of skin darkening spray to portray Diana Ross.[92] After receiving backlash for her comments, Kelly issued an internal email apologizing for the remarks later that day.[93] On October 26, 2018, NBC canceled Megyn Kelly Today.[94] It had been reported that Kelly was considering ending the program to focus on her role as a correspondent.[95] Her employment was terminated on January 11, 2019, and she was paid the $30 million due for the remainder of her contract.[96][97][98]

On November 30, 2023, she revealed on her show that she had been working with The Daily Wire and would be starring in a new adult animated comedy series called "Mr. Birchum." Kelly is set to star alongside notable names such as Danny Trejo, Roseanne Barr, and Adam Carolla. The show is scheduled to debut in early 2024.[102][103]

Kelly said she was not consulted for the film's content.[117] However, after viewing a screening of the film, Kelly held a roundtable discussion with other involved parties such as Juliet Huddy, Rudi Bakhtiar, Douglas Brunt, and former Fox News producer Julie Zann. Kelly confirmed and denied several moments in the film, while describing the film overall as an emotional experience for her.[118][119]
