The ex-Fox News star is betting on a last-minute sit-down with the Russian president as she tackles one ‘big ego’ at a time
An interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin is expected to be the highlight of Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly, the highly anticipated weekly newsmagazine show from the former Fox News star. The sit-down is scheduled to take place a mere two days before Sunday Night debuts June 4.
As Kelly brings an end to her five-month hiatus — a “so-called garden leave,” as she jokingly describes it to THR — she’s making a high-stakes bet that Putin will come through. He already has committed to be interviewed during Russia’s upcoming St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, where Kelly will moderate a June 2 plenary session.
Regardless of whether the interview takes place, a segment on the strongman will be a focal point of the one-hour premiere, says executive producer David Corvo, allowing viewers to take measure of Kelly in a different milieu from the talking-heads-inboxes genre in which she built her TV career. (The opening episode also will feature Kelly’s interviews with sportscaster Erin Andrews, who survived cervical cancer and a cyberstalking case, and J.D. Vance, author of the best-seller Hillbilly Elegy.)
