Megyn Kelly Denies CBS News Return Amid Podcast Comeback Success

Megyn Kelly has firmly denied recent rumors that she underwent a secret screen test at CBS News and is planning a return to network television. These rumors originated from veteran media reporter Bernard Goldberg during a podcast, where he claimed Kelly was being considered for a role at CBS. Kelly responded on X (formerly Twitter), stating that none of these claims are true, and she has no intention of leaving her current successful podcast to return to broadcast news. Since her departure from NBC News in 2019, following controversy over an on-air comment, Kelly has thrived with her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, which has a strong following across multiple platforms. Despite speculation about a comeback, Kelly emphasized her commitment to her current projects. The rumors also surfaced amid CBS News' efforts to diversify and adjust its editorial stance under new ownership, but Kelly remains focused on her existing media ventures.
