Megyn Kelly is now one of the highest-paid hosts on TV — here's where her salary ranks

After 12 years with Fox News, Megyn Kelly is moving on and up to host several shows at NBC. 

 

In a broad multiyear deal with the broadcast network, Kelly will anchor an NBC News program on Sunday evening, host an hour-long daily daytime news talk show, and become a mainstay in special political news events.

The new gig means that Kelly will also raise her salary from the previously reported $10 million to $12 million range at Fox to likely between $15 million and $20 million at NBC, according to The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

So where does that place Kelly's paycheck versus the salaries of other big TV hosts?

In October, Variety released estimated numbers for the salaries of a range of TV actors and personalities.

 

The estimates are based on surveys of actors, executives, attorneys, agents, and other representatives.
