A time-honored conservative commentator, Kelly left Fox News in 2017 after more than a decade, moving to NBC, much to the chagrin of liberal viewers, and exiting that network just a year later following controversial on-air remarks she made defending the use of blackface.

Hope Hicks, who served as White House communications director from 2017 to 2018, will be the chief operating officer of Kelly’s Devil May Care Media. Hicks left the administration to serve as executive vice president at the Fox Corporation in 2018 before returning to the White House in 2020, where her final job title was counselor to the president.

The former White House communications director and Fox executive is joining Kelly's fast-growing Devil May Care Media.
