Why Did Grandma Groyper Sell Out?Megyn Kelly's tragic journey from gaslighter to useful idiot.January 13, 2026 by Josh Hammer
Megyn Kelly wasn’t always a coward. Nor was she always an ignorant stooge for America’s enemies. On the contrary, Grandma Groyper’s descent into pitiable lunacy is a fairly recent phenomenon.
During her long career at Fox News, Kelly made her bones as a no-nonsense, vaguely centrist, mostly nonideological interviewer. Kelly, a lawyer by background, grilled her cable news interview subjects as a prosecutor might hound an expert witness on the stand. Sometimes that made things rather uncomfortable for Fox News, as during her infamous feud with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. But at least Kelly’s brand was clear: tough, firm, politically “independent.”
Or so it seemed.
Because at NBC News, her next career stint, the ideological chameleon Kelly shifted leftward in accordance with her 30 Rock paymasters. Kelly, whose unpersuasive shtick these days involves cussing like a sailor on SiriusXM and touting her purported badass MAGA bona fides on culture war issues, used her NBC platform to glorify a set of “transgender” teenagers on set. (Kelly has said she’s “evolved” on the issue, but does any Jew or Christian—let alone one who’s been touting her daily rosary of late—really need to “evolve” on the divinely established sexual dimorphism of Genesis 1:27?) She beclowned herself on Ellen DeGeneres’ talk show in a fat suit, parading around like a sumo wrestler who lost an embarrassing wager.
Allegedly disliked at the Peacock despite her sycophantic intellectual appeasement, Kelly was fired and relaunched her midlife career as a quinquagenarian podcaster. Consignment to the digital ghetto was not Kelly’s preference. As Dave Rubin—one of many one-time close personal friends Kelly has thoroughly distanced herself from since embarking on her peculiar new journey—recently observed, in a post about the not-so-dynamic duo of Grandma Groyper and the Doha Shill (Tucker Carlson): “This isn’t the place they wanted to be, rather it’s the place they were banished to.” Indeed.
