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 amount, people briefed on the negotiations said on Tuesday.
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.

OK, move Hannity to 9 and hire Sharyl Atkinson for the 10 PM slot.
That has long since passed.
Yea! Finally rid of her too. Now she can play “look at me! look at me!” all day long at NBC. Who takes her place at Fox? Give it to Hannity I say!

Over a dozen years ago I started at Fox News in a job that would change my life. Now, I have decided to end my time at FNC, incredibly enriched for the experiences I’ve had. I have agreed to join NBC News, where I will be launching a new daytime show Monday through Friday, along with a Sunday evening news magazine program. I will also participate in NBC’s breaking news coverage and its political and special events coverage.
While I will greatly miss my colleagues at Fox, I am delighted to be joining the NBC News family and taking on a new challenge. I remain deeply grateful to Fox News, to Rupert, Lachlan and James Murdoch, and especially to all of the FNC viewers, who have taught me so much about what really matters. More to come soon.
Happy New Year, and God bless.
Tomi Lauren already has blond hair and I vote for her.
Is she taking her lapdogs with her?

From who? For what? She'll be on the streetwalker channel in about two years. What's with the dyke look?
Won’t miss her like I haven’t missed watching any TV news programs, or channels these past 8 years. Fox included.
I’m sure I will enjoy not watching her on NBC at least as much as I have enjoyed not watching her on FNC (since the Trump ambush question in the first debate).
Call Greta.
don’t forget the never ending use of “yours truly”
“So, you don’t think it’s appropriate for a presidential candidate accused by multiple women of harassment, or worse, to be asked about it? Should Slick Willie not have been asked to respond to his accusers? It was an entirely legitimate question, IMO.”
A. Megyn’s question had NOTHING to do with accusations of harassment (”or worse”). It had to do with “several disparaging comments about women’s looks” on Trump’s Twitter account, which, to Megyn’s teeny little feminist brain, meant Trump was part of the “war on women.”
B. And, no, accusations do not always have to be dignified with an answer - or even a question - particularly accusations made out of the blue in the middle of a political campaign.
Laura Ingraham should replace Megyn
Well, bye.
Actually she probably taking a pay cut to do this. Probably in consideration of promises for more exposure. Seems as if I’d heard that Tucker is beating her in the ratings lately anyway.
