Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly is an American television newsmagazine hosted by journalist and former attorney Megyn Kelly.
The series premiered on NBC on June 4, 2017, as Kelly's first NBC News program since her departure to the division from Fox News. It will initially run over the summer before returning in early-2018 following the conclusion of the NFL season and the 2018 Winter Olympics. Deadline noted that NBC had chosen to place Sunday Night in the same time slot as CBS's 60 Minutes, but that it may be an advantageous move as 60 Minutes largely airs reruns over the summer.
The series received a 30% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes based on 10 reviews with an average of 0/10. Its consensus states "Sunday Night with Megyn Kelly finds its talented anchor attempting to move outside her comfort zone - and flailing through the largely unimpressive results."
Early reviews were mostly negative. Reviewing Kelly's interview with Russian president Vladmir Putin, Lorraine Ali of Los Angeles Times wrote that Kelly "tried to deliver something substantive in under 10 minutes, and it wound up making her coming-out party more of a fizzle than a bang."Variety television critic Maureen Ryan concluded that "Kelly herself was, as she has always been, poised on camera. But the show will have to go much further in matters of quality, urgency and coherence in order to justify the investment in the anchor. In interviews, Kelly sounds as if she’s been eager to prove herself outside the narrow confines of her former perch. That process still appears to be a work in progress, at best."
Kelly's interview with Alex Jones drew favorable praise.The Hollywood Reporter concluded that "the segment covered all the right bases, albeit frustratingly briefly. But it needed to be far more hard-hitting."
