Kelly was one of Fox News’ most popular hosts and had been with the company for 12 years. She made headlines earlier this year when President-elect Donald Trump made personal attacks against her. They have since reconciled.

The last episode of The Kelly File will air on Friday, January 6th.

In a statement on her Facebook page, Kelly thanked her Fox News colleagues and viewers stating, “While I will greatly miss my colleagues at Fox, I am delighted to be joining the NBC News family and taking on a new challenge.”
