Megyn Kelly compared Kamala Harris to the Legally Blonde character Elle Woods during her interview with Stephen Colbert. While the film — which stars Reese Witherspoon — has a cult following, Kelly wasn't exactly complimenting the politician.
"This is what I find interesting about her," Kelly said. "It's how empty she is. The only time she really gets animated is when she talks about race, abortion, or herself. Truly, I'm a connoisseur now of this woman's commentary, and those are the three things that really light her up, and the giggling about when she gets to herself. 'I call them my baby nieces, like, that's something special about me. I have this term of endearment about my two nieces. You see, I put the word baby in front of them … That's what I do. That's my thing.'"
"And then she gets equally animated when she gets to her stupid AirPod choice … It's ridiculous," Kelly said, as Harris defended her use of wired headphones with Stephen Colbert. "She comes alive on the subject of 'Me.' Reminds me of this gal from Legally Blonde."
Kelly later showed a video of Woods yelling, "Me!" while in the halls of Harvard.
Harris went on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to discuss her new book, 107 Days, and her decision not to run for governor of California. Harris' book documents her transition from supporting Joe Biden's presidential campaign to then replacing the president after he dropped out. The former senator also explored how she views government differently after losing the election to Donald Trump.
Aside from Harris, Kelly has been critical of Colbert's response to CBS firing him and pulling the plug on The Late Show franchise.
"Many of us have had very public cancelations and some were absolutely brutal," she said after the news dropped. "And we didn't invite all our friends to come cry on the set and say, 'Poor poor her. Poor poor him. American democracy will not be the same.' Some of us took it like professionals, then picked ourselves up, dusted ourselves off, and moved on with life. Is this how it's going to be for the next year? Watching this crybaby try to play the victim that his show got cancelled? Grow up. It's called television, you toddler."
