Deadline Hollywood has learned that popular Fox News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly will make her return from maternity leave on Monday Aug. 8. That is exactly four months after Kelly’s last broadcast on April 8. She gave birth to her second child, a girl, the following week, on April 14. When contacted, Fox News spokeswoman Irena Briganti confirmed Kelly’s return date.
Despite speculation that Kelly may take over the 5 PM slot vacated by the departure of Glenn Beck, she will resume her duties as solo anchor of her program, America Live with Megyn Kelly, which airs from 1-3 PM ET, while The Five, which has been airing in the 5 PM hour, is expected to continue its run through the summer as originally planned. Several FNC anchors rotated in filling in for Kelly during her maternity leave: Martha MacCallum, Alisyn Camerota, Shannon Bream and Gretchen Carlson. Kelly, a former corporate litigator, has been a rising star since joining FNC in 2004. The anchor, who also has a weekly segment on the network’s top-rated program The O’Reilly Factor, has become a pop culture fixture, listed as one of TV’s hottest anchors by Maxim and appearing in a sexy spread in GQ magazine.
TV Editor Nellie Andreeva - tip her here.


Yay, more stiff faced biased reporting from her.
faux entertainment at it’s best
How nice for her. Has she considered learning to correctly spell her forename as a future project, or does the heady whirl of GQ shoots preclude that sort of thing? Fox News- by idiots, for idiots…
There is no “proper” spelling for one’s forename , as you suggest. Perhaps a photo-shoot with GQ magazine would enlighten you since it was a precursor to her spelling prowess!!! Where is the relevancy?
Yeah, we hear you…..you are a jealous liberal, but there you are, still watching Megyn. PATHETIC! Oh, maybe you are watching too much of NBC crap or worse, MSNBC.
She is one of the “journalists” who puts the faux in Faux News.
Amen to that. She is one angry woman.
Piss off you Lbyards Cry baby’s
And that, children, is why we need well-funded public schools that include spelling and grammar classes. End of lesson.
Yeah, because we don’t sink enough money into schools already.
The fact that you think we “sink” money into schools says everything. Is your fantasy a world of highly educated elites and an illiterate underclass to do their bidding? Because we’re heading there already…
And what schools might that be?
Ach du Lieber! I have missed Fraulein Kelly!
I used to watch her show and thought it was good. But, if you watch for a while then you realize that she is a stuck up attention whore who’s only goal in life is fame. She is a hypocrite on many things she talks about. Megyn Kelly is not hot at all. Go to your local Starbucks and you will see several women that are more attractive than her. Both her and that chubby and old douchebag Patti Anne Brown should be doing local news.
Megyn Kelly’s also comes off as nerdy without social skills. There is nothing wrong with being nerdy. But, she thinks she is a supermodel that all men want!! HER ARROGANT ATTITUDE MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT. There are several other women on Fox that are at least model attractive.
By the way, TO ANY OF THE AGENTS AND MANAGERS OF CNN, MSNBC AND ETC. FOX has the highest ratings because they have more attractive women than all those networks combined!!!! Well, besides mediocre looking Megyn Kelly who has to be sleeping with the boss.
But, getting back to the attractive women, CNN, MSNBC AND ETC. get your act together. I’m a liberal and I would rather watch a hot babe deliver the news so I switch to FOX. Dugh, seriously, IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE TO THINK THAT MEN WILL GRAVITATE TOWARD A NETWORK THAT HAS MORE HOT WOMEN IN SHORT SKIRTS AND BIG BUSTS IN LOW CUT SHIRTS. Robin Meade on HLN is the closest but she never shows any thigh or low cut shirts like the women of FOX. I believe it’s some buffoon producer at HLN that’s keeping her from doing that.
I do hope that you feel better now having delivered for the entire world to see a diatribe worthy of a sixth grade child with hurt feelings.
I agree
with Shirley, not the 10 year old who signs “All men”
You need to learn how to spell, learn what an adult acts like and you are jealous as hell of Megyn. She is an intelligent woman who also is a Christian. Go take a hike.
Dude, there are more things than just physical beauty that make a woman hot. Your lack of character and maturity is very obvious
This Fox derrangement syndrome is really something! Megyn ( OH WOW! Her parents gave her an unusual spelling for her name! Let’s insult her for it!(sarcasm)) Kelly is clearly very beautiful, but if you bothered to watch her, you’d see she is also very smart. You may disagree with her, but you’re only making yourselves seem small by the ad hominem attacks.
We get it, David. You think she’s hot.
Amen David.
Megyn Kelly is nothing but an fame seeking buffoon. She represents the type of person that will do anything for attention without any consideration for others.
oh yeah, she’ll do ANYTHING, the crazy beyotch. why, already she has the nerve to host a TV show. what crazy craven thing will she think of next? radio?
I guess the “without any consideration for others” comment refers to the much uglier and stupider women on MSNBC whose ratings Megyn is surpassing. yup, she’s hell on them. how dare she?
It saddens me that this woman is breeding.
really? why is that? because she’s prettier than your mom?
It saddens me that most of the comments posted about Megyn Kelly are demeaning…believe me that speaks more to the type of person you are than the type of person she is.
These people are obviously very angry. I am sure it shows in every aspect of their lives. Honestly, I feel sorry for them.
You can tell more about a person by what they say about others than what others say about them ~Leo Aikman~
why so much anger? tsk tsk!!
How silly these comments seem to me. There seems to be more concern with looks than ability and content.
I’ve often appreciated the legal background she brings to Fox News, and think she is admirable, bright, and attempts to be fair and truthful. She’s fearless in challenging interviewees, but polite and graceful.
Look forward to having her back.
I am really looking forward to having her back on the air. The bottom line is she is a former lawyer, good looking, and smart. She really seems to enjoy her work and is good at it. All the people on here badmouthing her on here seem more jealous than credible. Why do those on the left hate any woman who leans right and happens to be attractive. Oh wait i know you got Pelosi & Clinton
All I have to say is, 4 months of maturnity leave!!! How am I the only one mentioning this? Isn’t the maximum most people get around 6 weeks? Where do I get a gig like that!? What could she possibly be doing or makes her that important that 4 months seems reasonable. Kinda shows you the “commitment” she has to her work, not to mention the stunning deal that Fox for some reason signed off on for just another news reader. I can’t believe the show still has her name attached to it after all this time. Go to your boss next week and say, “yeah, so Im going to be taking the next third of a year off and I still want to get paid too.”
The women filling in for her have been just as good as her if not better, but I think that maybe because she has a smidge more visual appeal than them thats all that gets her that slot again. By the way, being one of the hottest news anchors in the country isnt saying much. I have two words Joy Behar, I rest my case.
Go Megan we miss you gal
Wow, such anger over this woman! I watch her 1-2 times per week and she is very knowledgeable and seems to really clarify the issues that are before us each day. She is also very pretty, no clue where that criticism could come from?
It seems like there are a lot of uninformed haters on this site, which is why our country is such a mess. People don’t think for themselves and just parrot what they hear on their tv show or newspaper of choice.
Welcome back Megyn, no matter how you spell your name. I’m sure if she were on CNN everyone would be touting her name as original. She would be quite the feminist, but work for Fox and you lose all credibility automatically. If your name was Wolf or Soledad you get no criticism though! Very fair and balanced people.
Me and my husband are such big fans of Megyn! We can’t wait to see her back on Fox!
Missed her! She is our favorite!
Missed you Megyn!! Such a good mama — 4 mos of maternity leave; that’s the right priorities! Looking forward to your return, but don’t worry – everything will fall into place with your family and work/life balance.
RYAN – “Isn’t the maximum most people get around 6 weeks? Where do I get a gig like that!? What could she possibly be doing or makes her that important that 4 months seems reasonable”
By law a company must allow up to 12 weeks of leave for the birth of a child (this also includes adoption or foster care). The company is not requred to pay the person while on leave, but if one can afford it one can take it.
What could she possibly be doing? – bonding with, and taking care of her child – you moron.
And just so you know, men can take off too. So, I guess if you manage to convince someone to have your child, you can get the same gig.
Megyn is a class act, an intelligent and articulate reporter. Congrats to Mom and welcome back!!
I love it when she makes Bill O Rielly stutter…
If any of the AHs who spoke against Megyn had half a brain, they would realize that Megyn Kelly has to do a LOT of work to do her show. She has to research, read, and weigh the news and comments. She has to be current and very smart (while she is also being a mother, wife, family member, and friend). That takes a great, organized brain. She is worth the 4 months leave to her employer (and to her fans).
Also, that is their business!! If and when you AHs ever get a job, work the same deal for yourselves. It’s a free country! Love you, Megyn.
Aug. is Domestic abuse awareness month. V,Pres.Biden
wasn’t wrong when he said that unemployment effects crime and women victims of crime/rape. Federal money and taxes from jobs promote safety for everyone. Women seem to be easier targets esp. in home invasions.
Please Megan, women are not incapablel of taking precations against attacks. But in this economy we need
all the police forces and Fed. financial help to stop crime. Was he really trying to get votes?
