TO GET ME?
>> NOT TODAY.
>> Tati: ONE THING THAT HAD
PEOPLE BUZZING WAS THE PREMEEFR
MEGYN KELLY TODAY.
>> Jason: THEY PULLED OUT ALL
THE STOPS.
SHE WAS JOINED BY THE CAST FROM
"WILL & GRACE."
>> THE PHYSICAL HUMOR OF THE
SHOW IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS.
I'M LOOKING AT YOU, SEAN.
[LAUGHTER]
>> THE CHER MOMENT, IS IT TRUE
SHE ASKED YOU TO COME TO HER
EPISODE?
>> IT WAS VERY KIND.
>> I TOLD THAT STORY.
>> IT'S OUT OF THE BAG.
>> I SAID SOMEWHERE THAT SHE
INVITED SEAN TO GO TO HER CASTLE
IN THE ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE FOR
THANKSGIVING AND HE WAS LIKE,
NO.
[LAUGHTER]
>> Tati: MEGYN KELLY SAT DOWN
WITH KIMBERLY GILL TO TALK ABOUT
SUCCESS, FAILURES, AND THINGS
SHE WISHES SHE COULD DO OVER.
>> Kim: THERE IS A GREAT DEAL
THAT GOES INTO LAUNCHING A NEW
SHOW, NOT TO MENTION ONE THAT
RADAR.
>> THESE ARE OUR WONDERFUL
FRIENDS FROM DETROIT.
>> WELCOME TO OUR ICEBOX!
>> Kim: AND WE WENT BEHIND THE
SCENES OF MEGYN KELLY TODAY
BEFORE THE BIG DEBUT.
SOMETHING.
IF SHE'S FEELING THE FRESH, SHE
SURE WASN'T SHOWING IT AS WE SAT
DOWN ON THE SET OF HER BRAND-NEW
SHOW.
>> ANYTHING YOU'RE SCARED OR
NERVOUS ABOUT?
>> YES.
IN GENERAL, I DON'T LOVE PUBLIC
SPEAKING, AND I GET NERVOUS AT
THE BEGINNING AND MY HEART IS
LIKE THAT AND THEN A COUPLE
MINUTES INTO IT, YOU CALM DOWN
AND I'M FINE.
THEY THINK BECAUSE YOU CAN LOOK
INTO T CAMERA, YOU CAN DO
PUBLIC SPEAKING, BUT IT'S NOT
THE SAME.
I'M SLIGHTLY WORRIED I'LL HAVE A
HEART ATTACK AND KEEL OVER.
IF I MAKE IT THROUGH THE NEXT
COUPLE OF MINUTES YOU'LL KNOW,
SHE'S GOOD.
>> Kim: YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
>> MY HOPE IS THAT THIS SHOW CAN
BE A UNIFYING FORCE.
>> Kim: WHAT DO YOU SAY TO
PEOPLE WHO MIGHT QUESTION YOUR
AUTHENTICITY, AN AGGRESSIVE
CROSS-EXAMINER, AND NOW YOU'RE
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
IT SEEMS IN YOUR PROMOS YOU'RE
SOFT AND HUGGING PEOPLE WHICH
WAS THE OPPOSITE OF FOX NEWS.
DO YOU WORRY ABOUT THAT?
>> I THINK THAT ASSUMES FACTS
NOT IN EVIDENCE.
I THINK THE CRITICISM YOU'RE
RAISING IS BASED ON A CARICATURE
I DID ON FOX NEWS.
IF YOU ACTUALLY WATCHED ME FOR
13 YEARS, MY SHOW WAS FULL OF
MOMENTS.
BUT IF YOU DIDN'T WATCH, YOU SAW
SNIP-ITS AND IT WOULD BE
SOMETHING LIKE NEWT GINGRICH
ATTACKING ME.
AND THE FACT THAT I WAS ABLE TO
STAND MY GROUND WHEN UNDER
ATTACK DOES NOT MEAN THAT I'M
NOT A WARM, SOFT PERSON.
IT MEANS I'M A STRONG WOMAN WHO
DOESN'T WHITHER WHEN SOMEONE
COMES AT ME.
I THINK MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO
ASK ME THAT QUESTION IS MEN.
WHAT I HAVE TO SAY TO PEOPLE WHO
QUESTION THAT IS, I DON'T KNOW A
WOMAN WHO ISN'T BOTH STRONG AND
WARM, WHO DOESN'T HAVE MOMENTS
OF TEARS AND FEROCITY, IN THE
APPROPRIATE MOMENT.
AND TO ASSUME ONE COMES AT THE
EXPENSE OF THE OTHER IS TO
MISUNDERSTAND ANY WOMAN I KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW A WOMAN WHO IS ALL
ONE AND NOT THE OTHER.
SO MY AUTHENTIC SELF IS ABLE TO
CROSS-EXAMINE A POLITICIAN LYING
TO ME ALONG WITH THE BEST IN THE
BUSINESS.
I WANT TO UPLIFT MY VIEWERS IN A
WAY THAT IS WARM, FUNNY,
INSPIRING, AND FUN.
>> IT'S A SELFISH PROJECT.
>> Kim: IT SEEMS AS IF
EVERYTHING YOU TOUCH TURNS TO
GOLD.
YOU'VE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL.
I LOVED READING YOUR BOOK AND
HOW YOU WORKED AT JONES DAY.
DOES IT PUT MORE PRESSURE ON YOU
WHEN YOU ARE SO SUCCESSFUL, TO
NOT IT OUT OF THE PARK WITH THIS
NEXT PROJECT?
>> MAYBE FOR PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF
MY WORLD, IT DOES.
I KNOW GENERALLY WHAT PEOPLE ARE
WRITING ABOUT THE SHOW, LIKE IT
IT'S NOT.
I NEVER PROMISED THAT.
I DON'T THINK ABOUT MY OWN LIFE
LIKE THAT.
WHAT MAKES ME, ME IS MY HISTORY,
MY FAMILY, MY HUSBAND, MY
CHILDREN.
AND I'LL HAVE THAT NO MATTER
WHAT, GOT WILLING.
SO THAT IS NOT AT STAKE HERE.
SO I'M GOOD.
>> Kim: DO YOU THINK OF WHAT
YOUR BIGGEST FAILURE IS?
>> I DON'T THINK OF IT THAT WAY.
THERE ARE A LOT OF MOMENTS I
OPEN-MINDED.
I WISH I HADN'T SAID SUCH STUPID
[BLEEP].
YOU CAN JUST BLEEP THAT.
LIFE.
ALL YOU CAN HOPE IS THAT OVER
YOU.
>> Tati: YOU CAN WATCH MEGYN
KELLY TODAY EVERY MORNING AT 9
A.M. HERE ON LOCAL 4.
TO EMPLOY THE BEEP?
