Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, who famously clashed with President-elect Donald Trump during a presidential debate over his comments on women, is leaving the network for a role at NBC News , the New York Times reported Tuesday, citing people briefed on the talks. Kelly will host her own daytime news and discussion program, anchor an in-depth Sunday night news show and participate in special political programming and other event coverage, the paper reported. Kelly, whose contract at Fox News expires this year, was understood to have been offered more than $20 million a year to stay. Her new salary was not disclosed in the report, which said NBC has made clear it could not match that sum. Fox shares were up 1.9% in afternoon trade, while the S&P 500 was up 0.3%.
