The big news in the media world today was the announcement that Fox News star Megyn Kelly was leaving the network to go work for NBC News. Her last show on Fox will be this Friday.

Immediately after the shock of Kelly’s departure from Fox wore off, the next question was this — who will take over Kelly’s 9 PM timeslot in Fox’s primetime lineup?

Well, it looks like one former Fox News host has endorsed one of her former colleagues for the post.

It would be a big plus to Fox evening line up – they need someone like @kimguilfoyle – viewers and colleagues love her https://t.co/eHMXSLeUIb

Gabriel Sherman of New York Magazine noted that a couple of different sources told him that Guilfoyle was lobbying for the position.

UPDATE 8:45 PM ET: We have removed the portion of this article that said it was rumored that Greta was heading to MSNBC to work as a legal analyst. This appears to be in dispute.

. @Mediate has this wrong..legal analyst? "As for Greta herself, it is rumored that she’s headed to MSNBC to work as a legal analyst" #wrong
