Megyn Kelly will return to primetime on NBC for at least one one-hour special in early August, a person familiar with the planning told TheWrap on Thursday. The appearance is expected to be a resuscitation of Kelly’s much-discussed evening show, “Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly.”
Back in March — in a release mostly promoting her interview with Vladimir Putin — the network promised that Kelly would return to the airwaves “periodically” in the spring and summer of 2018.
“This special marks the return of the weekend primetime newsmagazines Kelly will anchor periodically this spring and summer until football season,” it read, while also being careful to say that her appearances would depend on “Kelly’s schedule with her weekday morning program.”
