Megyn Kelly Profile…

The Albany Times Union’s Chris Churchill profiles FNC’s Megyn Kelly…

“I would say she’s got the world in front of her, that’s for sure,” said Michael Clemente, senior vice president of news at Fox. “She’s definitely a standout.”

Kelly’s path in television news has not been routine. She didn’t slog it out at small stations in Plattsburgh or Bangor. She didn’t go to journalism school. She didn’t even get into television news until she was in her early 30s.

She became a lawyer — after graduating in 1995 from Albany Law — and spent years working as a litigator. Then, she upped and changed careers, somehow managing to land a job at a Washington, D.C., television station.

“The cumulative grind got to be a bit much,” Kelly says now of her lawyering life. “I burned my entire 20s at the office, and I wasn’t prepared to burn my 30s, too.”
