Megyn Kelly is making her return to the network.

The former Fox News host left the network

in January of 2017 after public conflicts with

her former colleagues Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.

But she's now returning to the network on Wednesday night

for a sit down interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

Carlson announced the news on Monday, saying,

"This Wednesday night, two nights from now,

"someone who knows an awful lot about NBC is making

"her first TV appearance since parting ways from

"that channel nearly a year ago.

"Megyn Kelly will join us on this program

"for her first interview."

Carlson hinted that her appearance will be in regards

to reporter Ronan Farrow's claims about NBC

in his new book Catch and Kill.

Kelly parted ways with NBC in January

after public outcry over the host's treatment

of the topic of blackface during a segment

about Halloween costumes on Megyn Kelly Today.

According to sources who spoke with

The Hollywood Reporter at the time,

the agreement between the host and the network

means she was paid out the remainder of her

three year $69 million contract upon her departure.

That being said, this Fox News appearance doesn't mean

Kelly will be returning to the network any time soon.

A Fox News spokesperson spoke out in a statement, saying,

"Megyn Kelly's forthcoming guest appearance

"on Tucker Carlson Tonight was coordinated weeks ago

"and is a one-time occurrence.

"Any future programming changes we are considering

"do not involve her."

Kelly has previously written about her time at Fox News

and with accused sexual harasser

and former Fox News Chief Roger Ailes

in her book Settle For More.

Kelly will be portrayed by Charlize Theron

in the upcoming film Bombshell,

which depicts Ailes' downfall at the media company.
