Megyn Kelly took aim at late-night hosts Seth Meyers and Jimmy Fallon during the Thursday broadcast of her SiriusXM program, following the series finale of Stephen Colbert's show.
She expressed particular frustration with Meyers, recalling a past conflict at NBC after she featured his wife on her show for a charity initiative.

“He was such an a**h*** when I was over at NBC, like, I couldn’t stand him,” Kelly said.
According to Kelly, Meyers publicly targeted her shortly after she accommodated his family's promotional request.
“I said, ‘Sure, I’ll put her on,’ and then like, a couple months later, he was out there attacking me at the upfronts, where you make your pitch to advertisers,” she said.
Kelly questioned the motivation behind the public insults following a personal favor.
“Literally, he was out there making jokes about what a ‘racist’ I was,” she continued. “I’m sorry, but you’re just a d*** if you do that.
Who would do that?”

She concluded her remarks by reiterating her frustration: “You’re such a douche. You’re such a f****** douche, sorry for my language.”
Criticism of Jimmy Fallon
Kelly then turned her attention to Fallon, scrutinizing a political musical segment performed on the Wednesday episode of The Tonight Show.
“Maybe starting to think he can fill the shoes of Stephen Colbert,” she wondered.
The segment featured a song about Donald Trump's IRS settlement and the Department of Justice, drawing a strong negative reaction from Kelly.
“Oh my god… That should’ve come with a viewer warning. I was recoiling.
I disapprove on every level,” she said.

Radio producer Stu Burguiere joined the broadcast and shared his perspective: “That is the worst thing I’ve ever seen… I’m sort of angry at you, honestly, for even showing that.”
