Everyone and their mother was at the Time 100 Most Influential Gala on Tuesday night, including Megyn Kelly and Katie Couric. Apparently the two were seeing chatting it up pretty much the whole night.

It’s known that Megyn will be starting her gig at NBC in May.

“I do feel like I get the respect that I deserve, not by everybody though,” Katie shared with Page Six. “One thing I have learned, you can’t be liked by everyone and sometimes if you stand by something a lot of people will not like you. I do not feel like I am an icon to young female journalists, not at all. But I am happy if I have helped in any way to inspire young women. I have tried all my life to be a role model and to conduct myself in a way that I could be smart and authoritative to have equal footing with men.”

Katie and Megyn are paving similar roads when it comes to female journalists, especially with NBC.

That evening, honorees included Samantha Bee, Margaret Atwood, Syrian Defense leader Raed Saleh and Viola Davis, who said that night:

“Everybody in this room, I’m sure at some point, has gone through something in their lives, and you survived it. But not only did you survive it, you took that trauma, and that hurt, that revelation, or whatever it was, and you used it to connect, to give, to influence, to help, and that is the beauty and the purpose of what we are here on this Earth to do.”
