Megyn Kelly BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
If you want the latest on Megyn Kelly this week, you start with the buzz about CBS, a network suddenly courting controversy and headlines. Bernie Goldberg, on his No BS Zone podcast, claimed he had a scoop: Megyn Kelly supposedly spotted at CBS News headquarters for a screen test, fueling rumors of her big return to mainstream broadcast. Within hours, industry outlets like Mediaite ran the story, but Megyn herself shut the whole thing down emphatically, tweeting that there was “literally not one word of this is true,” adding she did not have a screen test, did not visit CBS, and was not interested in leaving her independent, thriving show to join what she called the “sinking ship of broadcast news.” This high-profile denial took social media by storm, with her clapback echoing through both professional and snark circles, and Goldberg himself updating his Substack with her response. The public back-and-forth highlights not just the speculation that follows Kelly but also her ironclad hold over her current brand as an independent media powerhouse, having turned The Megyn Kelly Show podcast and YouTube into one of the highest-viewed conservative platforms around, with nearly four million subscribers and claims of 150 million YouTube views a month, not even counting podcasts and socials, according to her recent Sky News Australia interview.
On the business and public appearance front, Kelly has hit the road with her first national “Megyn Kelly LIVE” tour, drawing crowds in cities like Fort Worth and Bakersfield in October and November. Ticket outlets like Vivid Seats report brisk sales with average ticket prices at $139. In what would qualify as both a business shift and a headline, the format’s been in the news after scheduled Bakersfield guest Charlie Kirk was shot and killed days before the event. The tour quickly pivoted, announcing Charlie Sheen as Kirk’s high-profile replacement, promising panels with Victor Davis Hanson and more culture-war fireworks. Meanwhile, Jacksonville is gearing up for her November 6th show with Ben Shapiro and Andrew Klavan, confirming that Kelly’s star draws both controversy and crowds.
Content-wise, Kelly is as outspoken as ever. Recent episodes of her show tackled everything from the political fallout after Charlie Kirk’s death, where she condemned Ta-Nehisi Coates’ remarks and accused the left of dishonesty about Kirk’s legacy, to sharp critiques of late-night TV hosts like Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, calling them “nincompoops” and mocking what she sees as leftwing groupthink dominating the genre. Kelly’s social media remains active, amplifying these positions and interacting with critics and fans alike.
As for major headlines, the CBS rumor and her national tour dominated the week, along with her forthright trollings of both mainstream television and political rivals, reminding everyone why she remains a lightning rod in American media. No confirmed business pivots or broadcast moves this week—just a media operator at maximum, fiercely independent and unafraid to steer her own narrative.
