Megyn Kelly to Take Over Sean Hannity's 9PM Fox Slot After Maternity Leave: Report

Megyn Kelly is rumored to take over an important position in the cable news network's prime time lineup, according to Drudge Report.

A source told the website that Kelly, who is currently on maternity leave, will return to host the 9 p.m. ET slot.

"It's all about Megyn," a source told Druge. "She is the new face of cable news. She has it all!" However, a Fox News spokesperson said no official announcement will be made at this time.

"We will neither confirm nor deny any programming schedule changes. As previously stated, the network has signed long-term deals with Megyn Kelly, Bret Baier, Shepard Smith, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity and Greta Van Susteren."


Hannity launched his current show 'Hannity' in 2009 after years as the conservative co-host of 'point-counterpoint' program 'Hannity & Colmes.'

But it appears the 51-year-old is about to be bumped for Kelly, or possibly joined by the 42-year-old former 'America Live' host, according to The Drudge Report.

Should Megyn Kelly ends up at 9 p.m., she'll be competing against Piers Morgan on CNN, Rachel Maddow on MSNBC, and Dr. Drew on HLN.

Megyn Kelly recently gave birth to her third child, a baby boy named Thatcher Bray Brunt. Megyn Kelly and husband Doug Brunt, a businessman, also have two other children, Yates and Yardley who are 3 and 2 years old, respectively. The couple got married in 2008.
