Megyn Kelly, a highly recognized journalist and media personality, gained significant national recognition during her tenure at Fox News, where she launched the prime-time program ‘The Kelly File’ in 2013, which often led in ratings. Kelly transitioned into broadcast journalism in 2003 as a general assignment reporter for WJLA-TV in Washington, D.C., covering significant national events including Supreme Court confirmation hearings and presidential elections. Prior to this, she cultivated a prominent legal career after earning a Juris Doctor from Albany Law School in 1995, where she served as an editor of the Albany Law Review. She practiced as an associate attorney at Bickel & Brewer LLP and later at Jones Day for nine years before joining Fox News in 2004.
Demonstrating her continued relevance in political discourse, Kelly co-hosted the fourth Republican primary debate on NewsNation in 2023. In 2025, she further expanded her independent ventures with the launch of MK Media, a comprehensive podcast and video network. Her work in digital audio was recognized the same year when she was awarded an iHeartRadio podcast award for Best Political Podcast, affirming the widespread impact and success of her independent platform.
