Good morning, Broadsheet readers! Megyn Kelly kills it with TV viewers, three big employers reveal their secrets for fighting unconscious bias, and we learn which colleges produce female alums who out-earn their male classmates. Have a wonderful weekend.

• Kelly kills it. Fox News host Megyn Kelly’s average audience in the key 25-to-54 year old demographic surpassed Bill O’Reilly's in Q3. That's big news: O'Reilly had the highest viewership in that demo every quarter since 2005. Fortune
