Hope Hicks, a former top aide during President Donald Trump's first administration, is joining Megyn Kelly's Devil May Care Media as its new chief operating officer, Kelly confirmed in an exclusive statement to the New York Post on Monday (July 28).
“Hope Hicks is exactly the kind of woman I want running my company with me — strong, smart, strategic and the embodiment of class and poise,” Kelly said. “She’s at the top of a growing media conglomerate and there’s no limit to where she can take it; my best-in-the-business staff and I are thrilled to have her on board.”
Hicks, 36, will report to Kelly and lead business development for the growing conservative media network, which includes The Megyn Kelly Show and the morning news show AM Update with Megyn Kelly.
“Megyn has used her talent, integrity, and unparalleled credibility to create content unlike anything else available today,” Hicks told the New York Post. “I am incredibly humbled and thrilled to be joining Megyn and her team in continuing to build what is undoubtedly a flourishing business.”
The Megan Kelly Show initially launched as an audio-only podcast in September 2020 before eventually expanding to video format and has more than 3.7 million subscribers on YouTube, as well as its content generating millions of monthly views across all social media platforms, according to data shared by the company to the New York Post.
