How Megyn Kelly went from small-town cheerleader, to leading political journalist, to daytime talk show host
Associated Press
NBC host Megyn Kelly in New York.
Megyn Kelly, the former star anchor of Fox News' primetime lineup, debuted her new show, "Megyn Kelly Today," this week under NBC's banner.
Kelly has long been a staple in the media universe, but she made headlines during the presidential campaign after then-Republican candidate Donald Trump hurled what many described as a sexist attack against her when she confronted him about his treatment of women during an August 2015 Republican primary debate.
Despite Trump's comments, she continued gaining star power and recognition based on her refusal to back down from asking difficult and, at times, controversial questions to powerful and influential figures.
In January, Kelly announced on the air that she would be leaving Fox News to "pursue a new challenge," and her role on NBC decidedly represents such a challenge for Kelly.
