Why Does Megyn Kelly Say She Does Not Want an Agent?
Megyn Kelly tells Ari Emanuel she likes the man and respects the agent, and that agents in general have brought her nothing but bad experiences. Ari Emanuel defends the job he started in. An agent, he says, takes an artist's dreams, arranges the money and the freedom to make the work, and gets the artist through conflict. He calls that one of the great art forms on the business side, and he says artists are hard to protect without it.
Megyn Kelly says news is different. She only used an agent to negotiate a deal near the end of her time in cable news, and it was pointless because she could negotiate her own deal. She adds that not everybody can, or wants to.
