Megyn Kelly Settle for More

Suddenly, Megyn Kelly is everywhere. Her tell-all memoir, “Settle for More,” from Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins, came out in November and immediately hit the best seller list. She made a big splash as a cover girl on GQ and Vanity Fair. Kelly was offered 20 million dollars to renew her contract with Fox News, where she anchors her top rated prime time show, The Kelly File. On January 3rd, Megyn Kelly made headlines announcing her move to NBC News to host her own daytime program, Sunday night news program as well as special event and political coverage.

Glamorous and outspoken, Megyn Kelly, 46,has broken through the glass ceiling into the big leagues.

It’s been more than a year since her coverage of the 2016 presidential race ignited a firestorm of publicity. With her bold, edgy, take-no-prisoners style, Kelly has firmly seized the spotlight.

When we first saw Megyn Kelly way back in 2004, she was a newscaster on Fox News. Many typecast her as just one more blond with great legs and cleavage, a decoration enhancing the set of the right wing network. Despite her rising ratings and frequent promotions, Megyn Kelly was not taken seriously by those with little knowledge of her considerable achievements.

Then came the now infamous August 2015 Republican primary debate in Cleveland, Ohio. Drawing a deep breath, in front of 24 million viewers, Kelly slammed Donald Trump with the question that stopped him, and America, dead in its tracks. “You have called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs and disgusting animals…. You once told a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees… Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president…?”
