It pays to be Megyn Kelly: The former Today host is nearing a $30 million settlement to finalize her exit from NBC News, according to the New York Post.
The $30 million represents the full value remaining on the reported $69 million contract Kelly signed when she joined NBC News in January 2017 after a long stint at Fox News.
Kelly’s nighttime news magazine Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly was a misfire as well, with NBC quietly pulling it off the schedule after just eight airings.
Kelly’s daytime talk show Megyn Kelly Today was cancelled last month after a series of on-air controversies, with the host coming under fire for not understanding why blackface is wrong.
