Megyn Kelly 'Wants to Come Back' to Fox News: Report

Despite the major backlash that got her removed from NBC, Megyn Kelly isn't ready to disappear from television screens for good.

A source close to Kelly told Vanity Fair "she wants to come back," to Fox News, where she was an anchor for 13 years.

The biggest question is whether Fox News would take her. At this point, the chances of a return look bleak. Kelly is still a polarizing figure within Fox News due to "her tangled history with the president." A source close to Fox News' co-chairman, Lachlan Murdoch, says that "[Murdoch is] extremely pleased with the current lineup."

There are still plenty of questions still on the table; however, the final decision will be made by Murdoch and his father, Rupert Murdoch.
