Kelly - who celebrated signing a $10 million just days ago - dished the dirt about her long-running feud with Trump and admitted that she didn't like that she had become the center of the story.

Their 'beef began' when Trump lashed out at Kelly in the press after the first GOP debate in August, accusing her of singling him out and then refused to take part in the most recent Fox debate ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

But Kelly told Colbert that she doesn't regret questioning Trump on his history of making derogatory statements about women.

She said: 'I asked him a debate question he didn't like, I still think it was a very fair question.'

Kelly said that she was 'not feuding' with him, but felt that he had 'beef' with her.

The host even went as fair as to say that she 'looking forward to having him on the panel'.

Talking about what she would ask the presidential hopeful - who Colbert described as 'just a billionaire who wants to have the nuclear launch codes' - she joked: 'I'm gonna start with, 'Apology accepted.''

Before adding, 'I'm looking forward to him coming. All the questions I had for him the last go-round, I'm just gonna move over to the March 3 debate rundown.

'We're gonna have at it, just like I've had at it with all the other guys — and Carly — who've been up there. It's gonna be a robust exchange and I think he's gonna walk away saying, 'What was my problem?''

She concluded, 'It's gonna be fine between us.'

When pushed to reveal the question she has prepared for him she responded: 'The only thing I really wanted to ask him was — he recently said that his supporters are so devoted to him that he could go in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and he wouldn't lose a single voter. In response, I want to ask him, 'Were you talking about me?'' 

President Obama made a guest appearance in a pre-recorded tape. When asked if he watched the game he said: Of course, I did

After fielding questions about what happened in the game, Obama insisted to Colbert that their interview (during Colbert’s live after-show) was pre-taped and so to prove that it was he tossed a ball to Michelle who was in the next room

She joked that she doesn't visit Fifth Avenue anymore and called the feud a 'surreal experience'. 

Conversation then turned to how she feels about being labeled a feminist icon, but Kelly says she rejects the terminology. 

I asked him a debate question he didn't like, I still think it was a very fair question

She said: 'I think word feminist is alienating and has been co-opted by some people'

And added that her advice would be to follow Steve Martin's motto: 'Be so good they can't ignore you', saying that the best way forward for young girls would be 'work your tail off, be the best, make sure you can't be ignored'.

After her appearance on the show a viewer tweeted saying: 'Respect Megyn Kelly 4 working hard. But what about the women who aren't professor's daughter & have law degree. What about average women?'

To which she replied: 'My dad died when I was 15. I put myself thru law school w/loans. My mom was a nurse. Anyone can pull themselves up.'

Her tweet has since had 480 retweets and has been liked nearly one and a half thousand times. 

Also on the show was Tina Fey and Margot Robbie, who were there promoting their upcoming film, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.

Next was Will Ferrel who managed to dodge any questions relating to his upcoming film, Zoolander. 

And President Obama made a guest appearance in a pre-recorded tape.

When asked if he watched the game he said: 'Of course, I did. After every super bowl I call the winning team and congratulate them, and sometimes I also call the losing team, because sometimes I bet on them.' 

He said he knew the Denver Broncos won the game, because 'all of the Super Bowl winners are written on the back of the constitution.' 

After fielding questions about what happened in the game, Obama insisted to Colbert that their interview (during Colbert's live after-show) was pre-taped. 

To prove it, Obama walked an earlier Colbert onto the screen.

The president, who earlier did then threw the football over to the First Lady, who was in the next room leading a touchdown dance with a group of children.
