Megyn Kelly Will Address ‘White Santa’ Controversy Tonight on Her Show

Friday evening on The Kelly File, Fox’s Megyn Kelly will address the controversy surrounding her Wednesday evening segment in which she declared that it is a “verifiable fact” that Santa Claus is white.

The segment set off all kinds of reactions, from outrage to mockery to eye-rolls to scholarly analysis.

Several media outlets noted how Kelly was absent from the anchor desk the next night, but her absence was unrelated to the Santa segment. However, the Fox host has alluded to her voice not being right for the past week, suggesting to Leno on Monday that she was sick. A Fox spokesperson confirms that she was just feeling under the weather.

We will have full coverage of Kelly’s response to the controversy tonight. Check back here during the 9 p.m. ET hour.
