Megyn Kelly's Media Empire Grows with Trump’s Former Adviser Hope Hicks

Hope Hicks served as White House Communications Director and Counselor under President Trump

Megyn Kelly's Podcast Empire Just Got a Whole Lot More Powerful with the Hired of Hope Hicks!

In a move that has left everyone in the media world buzzing, Megyn Kelly, the fiery former Fox News anchor turned podcast mogul, has just hired none other than Hope Hicks, the former top Trump aide and communications director, as the chief operating officer (COO) at her rapidly expanding podcasting company, Devil May Care Media.

According to sources close to the situation, Kelly, 54, was thrilled to bring on board Hicks, 36, who has been described as "strong, smart, strategic, and the embodiment of class and poise." Kelly raved about Hicks' impressive credentials, saying she's "exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me."

Hicks, who served as White House Communications Director and Counselor during Trump's first term, will be responsible for managing day-to-day operations, leading business development, and spearheading growth opportunities at Devil May Care Media. Her impressive resume also includes stints at the Trump Organization and Fox News.

The move comes as Kelly's company is poised to expand its slate of popular podcasts, including "The Megyn Kelly Show," which has been a huge hit since launching in September 2020. The show was picked up by SiriusXM and transformed into a live, daily radio broadcast with video added to the mix.

Other shows under the Devil May Care Media umbrella include "The Nerve" with Maureen Callahan, "Next Up" with Mark Halperin, "Spot On" with Link Lauren, and "After Party" with Emily Jashinsky. And get ready for even more exciting additions! A true crime channel featuring Kelly is set to premiere on August 6.

But what's behind the sudden surge of popularity at Devil May Care Media? Insiders say it's all about Kelly's keen eye for talent and her ability to create content that's unlike anything else out there. And with Hicks at the helm, the possibilities are endless!

In a statement, Hicks gushed about Kelly's vision and leadership, saying: "Megyn has used her talent, integrity, and unparalleled credibility to create content unlike anything else available today." She praised Kelly's impeccable taste in talent and her growing platform, noting that there are many more exciting opportunities ahead.

The hire is seen as a major coup for Kelly, who left Fox News in 2017 to join NBC News and has since become a vocal critic of the legacy media. Hicks, on the other hand, has been quietly building her own media consulting firm since leaving the White House.
