Hope Hicks Joins Megyn Kelly’s Devil May Care Media as COO

NEW YORK, NY — Hope Hicks, a former top aide to President Donald Trump, is now the chief operating officer of Megyn Kelly‘s Devil May Care Media. This announcement comes as Hicks takes on a critical role in expanding Kelly’s growing media empire.

Hicks, 36, was officially named COO on Monday. In her new position, she will oversee business development and operational management for Devil May Care Media, which includes Kelly’s flagship platforms like “The Megyn Kelly Show” and the morning news program “AM Update with Megyn Kelly.” Kelly expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “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.”

In a statement, Hicks conveyed her excitement about joining Kelly’s team. “I am incredibly humbled and thrilled to be joining Megyn and her team in continuing to build what is undoubtedly a flourishing business,” she said.

The Megyn Kelly Show evolved from an audio-only podcast launched in September 2020 to a prominent daily radio show with SiriusXM in 2021, now becoming one of the most consumed independent shows in America. The show boasts over 3.7 million YouTube subscribers and consistently ranks high on both Apple and Spotify podcast charts.

As Devil May Care Media continues to grow, new shows are being introduced. Recently, the company welcomed hosts such as Mark Halperin, Maureen Callahan, and influencer Link Lauren to its lineup. A true crime channel is slated to launch soon, expected to debut on August 6.

Hicks has a solid background in media and politics, having worked as press secretary during Trump’s 2016 campaign and later serving as White House communications director. After initially leaving the White House in 2018, she joined Fox Corp. as the chief communications officer before returning to Trump’s circles. The partnership with Kelly revives Hicks’s public presence amid ongoing discussions surrounding her role in Trump’s legal matters, notably her testimony during Trump’s criminal trial.

This new chapter for both Hicks and Kelly marks a significant collaboration between two influential figures in conservative media.
