CEO of New Fox Lachlan Murdoch put an end to speculation on Thursday that Megyn Kelly would return to Fox News after her show on NBC was canceled.
"I'm a big fan of Megyn's. I like her a lot. We didn't want her to leave Fox when she did," Murdoch said at The New York Time's annual Dealbook Conference. "Having said that, I'm very happy with our current lineup on Fox, and we won't be making any changes there."
NBC News canceled Kelly's morning talk show last week after she made controversial on-air comments about blackface. Kelly said during the show, "when I was a kid, that was okay as long as you were dressing up as like a character." She later apologized for the comments.
There was speculation after the change that Kelly would return to Fox News, where she anchored for more than a decade.
When interviewer Andrew Ross Sorkin asked Murdoch if Kelly had been "damaged" by the statement, Murdoch agreed, but said he hopes she returns to media in some capacity "because she's very talented."
