Megyn Kelly is the ‘Cable Queen’ when it comes to dominating television ratings.
And now the job-seeking former Fox anchor is taking the title to new heights, as she was seen in vacation photos ziplining over the Gallitan River in Montana on Friday.
Kelly’s husband Doug Brunt posted the photo of his wife striking a pose with a wide smile and wrote: ‘Poise, grace and no fear – my beautiful wife @megynkelly shows she really is the ”Cable Queen”. We and the kids loved the Gallatin River zipline.’
This comes as a media executive source tells DailyMail.com that they hope Kelly won’t be jobless for much longer.
‘Our debate schedule needs a Megyn Kelly, overly kind treatment of the candidates won’t serve any of them well in the end,’ they said.

The executive continued: ‘Anyone who has been in politics and who has debate-prepped candidates knows firsthand that tough debates in primary elections make for stronger candidates in a general election.
‘The debates need a highly skilled quick on their feet moderator with tremendous skill and poise.’
Megyn’s no-nonsense style shocked Donald Trump in 2015 from all the softball questions he had received up until then by TV journalists.
‘The kid-glove treatment will not help the eventual (and some might say, unfortunate) candidate who will go on to face off against Trump — a man greatly tested since he stepped onto his first debate stage,’ the source added.
