If you have been watching The Megyn Kelly Show since its video debut, you know that Megyn used to record the show from a tiny, cramped space in her attic. That all changed in September 2023 when she debuted her new red studio, complete with plenty of space for visitors… and the occasional visits from her dogs.
Since then, she has welcomed dozens of guests for in-person interviews and live events (i.e. The Megyn Kelly Show’s 2024 election night coverage). And it is not just Megyn’s home studio that sees all the stars – she sometimes takes the show on the road to cover breaking news or for a special sit down.
Regardless of the locale, there are always plenty of fun moments that happen when the cameras stop rolling, and we are taking you behind the scenes with exclusive backstage photos from the set. Keep scrolling to see some of Megyn’s favorite moments with her in-person guests.
