A little less than a week ago we revealed that Megyn Kelly’s NBC debut would be an interview with The Kardashian’s. That led many people to be disappointed because it was first expected that Kelly would be airing a one on one interview with none other than Vladimir Putin (looks like Oliver Stone took care of that). But that doesn’t mean that Megyn Kelly won’t be involving Mr. Putin in her television and journalism plans. According to The Wrap:
NBC News’ Megyn Kelly will moderate an event in Russia where she will share the stage with Russian President Vladimir Putin. It’s safe to assume Kelly will attempt to land an interview with Putin as she gears up for a pair of new programs on NBC: Her weekly Sunday night magazine-style show is set to debut this summer and her daily morning show will kick off in the fall.
Kelly will moderate the plenary session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, an annual conference that will take place from June 1-3. The conversation is expected to cover a variety of global and political topics, including international trade agreements and rising military tensions.
Whether or not this even lands her the coveted one on one interview she desires at least we know she’s willing to do what it takes for the chance at a once in a lifetime opportunity. I give Kelly 2-1 odds that she pulls off the interview request and that we see it sometime in October.
