Megyn Marie Kelly is an American journalist, political commentator and former corporate defense attorney. She is well-known as a bold anchor and an interviewer, unafraid of asking difficult questions. She worked for Fox News for 13 long years, and departed it to join NBC News. On several occasions, she drew media attention for her bold comments and daring stands. Her fame reached a new level when she challenged the then presidential candidate Donald Trump at a debate to explain his sexist comments made about women. Trump, who was outraged by her question, called her “crazy,” “angry” and “a bimbo.” In her best-seller autobiography ‘Settle for More’, she revealed that Trump had approached her on multiple occasions for positive coverage of his campaign. Kelly had also revealed that Fox News CEO Roger Ailes had sexually harassed her.

She was also involved in several controversies such as her assertions about the “whiteness” of Jesus and Santa Claus, her rejection of the label "feminist", and her vocal support for same-sex marriage. While she sounds liberal on social issues, and conservative on fiscal issues, Kelly is an independent and has voted for both Democrats and Republicans. She believes that her not having a strong political ideology makes her a more effective reporter. HarperCollins, that published her first book, noted that she is among the most interesting and influential people in America today. Kelly was inducted into the Hall of Fame at Bethlehem Central High School on September 26, 2015.
