Megyn Kelly and Donald Trump: Together Again in FOX Special

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has a recent antagonistic history with FOX News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly, stemming back to a confrontation at a GOP debate last August. Following Kelly’s tough questioning of the candidate, especially about his sexist comments regarding women, Trump responded with some horribly misogynistic comments about Kelly, then sat out another FOX News debate in January. By the time Trump appeared at another FOX debate in March, things were a little better between the two, if still icy.

But it appears the two may have become on better terms, or least amenable enough with each other for Trump to sit down with Kelly on her primetime special Megyn Kelly Presents, airing May 17 on the FOX broadcast network.

It seems likely that Kelly’s interview isn’t particularly tough on Trump, given that The Donald tweeted this out today:

Now, Trump knows what the interview was like, as it has been pre-taped. And someone as thin-skinned as Trump is certainly wouldn’t promote an interview that would make him look bad.

And making people look bad or uncomfortable doesn’t seem to be the goal of a special like this for Kelly. She will also be interviewing other celebrities, including actor Michael Douglas, LegalZoom.com founder and one of O.J. Simpson’s “Dream Team” attorneys Robert Shapiro, and Laverne Cox, costar of Orange Is the New Black who will also be appearing in FOX’s remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show this fall. So the special almost seems like it will have the feel of a Barbara Walters program.

Megyn Kelly Presents airs May 17 at 8pm ET/PT on FOX.

Megyn Kelly anchors The Kelly File on FOX News Channel weeknights at 9pm ET.
