During the May 8 episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, entertainment journalists Maureen Callahan and Megyn Kelly took aim at actor Ryan Reynolds, dubbing him a 'psycho arsonist' due to an incident from his teenage years where he allegedly burned down his elementary school in Canada. Callahan detailed that Reynolds set the fire in the middle of the night, which resulted in students having to attend classes at community centers for months. She referenced a front-page article from The Vancouver Sun from March 30, 1987, which reported on the fire. Callahan also discussed a 2004 interview where Reynolds admitted to the incident, saying, 'I got away with it.'

Additionally, Callahan criticized Reynolds for forcing his daughter to deliver explicit lines in the film Deadpool, claiming that the actor and director Shawn Levy laughed about the situation while the young girl expressed her discomfort. The episode also included criticism of Blake Lively, who is embroiled in a legal controversy with actor Justin Baldoni, with Callahan and Kelly questioning the nature of Lively's claims regarding her lawsuit's outcome.
