    Megyn Kelly, who arrived at Fox News 12 years ago as a television news neophyte but rose to become one of its two biggest stars, has decided to leave the network to take on a broad new role at NBC News for an undisclosed salary, NBC announced Tuesday afternoon.

    The NBC News chairman, Andrew Lack, wooed Ms. Kelly away from Fox News by offering her a triple role in which she will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and take regular part in the network’s special political programming and other big-event coverage.

    The move will herald a seismic shift in the cable news landscape, where Ms. Kelly had become the second-most watched host — after Bill O’Reilly of Fox News — and often helped define the national political debate, especially over the last year as Donald J. Trump regularly attacked her, at times in viciously personal terms.

    Ms. Kelly’s exit will upend Fox News’s vaunted prime-time lineup and inject a new dose of tumult just a few months after the departure of the network’s powerful founding chairman, Roger Ailes, who was ousted after several women made allegations that he sexually harassed them.

    Chip Kelly should cohost with her. Then they could have the Kelly & Kelly Files.

    Why not just hire a bunch of hot chicks to be Trump cheerleaders?

    That would be hilarious. Highly inappropriate and unlikely, but hilarious.

    Sure, sometimes. Like I said, I think she's terrific. How do they say it? She's fair and balanced - but for real! And it's good to get the other perspective, right?
    I also once appeared on O'Reilly's show, so it's got that going for it too. :cheers:

    I used the Kelly time to watch RT or China news for another view.
    Use to tune in MSNBC but just can't do it anymore.

    Meanwhile, Brian Williams is terribly disappointed he won't be "President" Clinton's press secretary.
