And when it comes to Putin, perhaps the most anticipated interview with the Russian leader is that of Oliver Stone, which is expected to premiere in less than two weeks on Showtime, on June 12.

So, in an attempt to share in the anticipation and borrow some of the limelight, Megyn Kelly said she has landed an interview with none other than the Russian leader for the premiere of her NBC newsmagazine Sunday. She announced the big "get" on Thursday's "Today" show. 

According to NBC, she's already in Russia to moderate a discussion featuring Putin at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, and the interview will take place afterward. They've been working to land the interview since Kelly agreed to serve on the panel.

Kelly left Fox News Channel for her job at NBC News, where she will also host a morning talk show starting in September.
