Tamron Hall Leaves NBC News After Being Bumped From 9 AM ‘Today’
March 11, 2017
Tamron Hall has left NBC News, after becoming the most high-profile flotsam and jetsam of the division’s hire of Megyn Kelly — who is getting, among other things, the third hour of Today that Hall co-hosted.NBC News
It was the Hall talks that led NBC News to inform Today staff of its Kelly-related 9 AM shakeup. Hall had to be told last week, because her contract was coming up and her reps were in talks with the news division. Last week, a source reported that the news division hoped she would stick around, continuing to appear on Today‘s mothership 7-9 AM show and hosting MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall. Though Hall has exited, Al Roker will continue to host at 9 AM until Kelly joins the lineup in the fall.
NBC News made Hall’s exit official:
Tamron Hall will be leaving NBC News and MSNBC when her contract expires this month. Yesterday was her last day as an anchor on both networks. Tamron is an exceptional journalist, we valued and enjoyed her work at TODAY and MSNBC and hoped that she would decide to stay. We are disappointed that she has chosen to leave, but we wish her all the best.Tamron joined MSNBC and NBC in 2007, and became part of the TODAY team in 2014. She has also worked passionately to bring awareness to domestic violence, highlighting the issue on her show “Deadline Crime, with Tamron Hall.” She earned an Edward R. Murrow Award for a story that aired on NBC News, and an Emmy in 2010 as a member of NBC News’ live inauguration coverage.Al Roker will continue to co-host TODAY’s Take at 9am weekdays until a new morning lineup begins in the Fall of 2017.Tamron asked that we share the following. “The last ten years have been beyond anything I could have imagined, and I’m grateful. I’m also very excited about the next chapter. To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you.”
She gives off the evil twin mean girls vibe.
Sort of like a smart alec knowitall director.
Not a conversational helping friend.
Harsh.
another person as ambush journalism.
Unethical in most peoples minds, and certainly not the woman tv talker that will be invited into peoples home at that hour and type of news category. Really, a very very
unethical person.
Add to that setting up a situation, intentionally and knowingly, that would disgrace her last employer.
No person on the current today show
has such a disgraceful profile.
Not to speak that it’s insulting to Matt and the other longtime good well intentioned people on the show. Disgrace and disgust.
Please, reconsider.
The today show female viewer will not relate to this harsh character. She does not project the best friend niceness that keeps us listening. As per… Klg and hoda, Meredith viera, Kelly ripa, Natalie morales.

Yes and Matt
The whole Ann Curry thing was a terrible blunder…too bad we will never know the whole story…
As for “Tamran” (i’m sure she would want her name spelled correctly)…you know or at least i do that woman has her ducks in a row…and is going somewhere great!

Really? Some people always see the worst in others. Tamron will be missed.
She had a great way of bringing some laughter on the show.
