Tamron Hall, 43, the familiar face who regularly fills in on the Today show, is reportedly in serious talks with NBC for a more permanent spot on the morning show, according to Parade.com.
According to reports, Tamron Hall is having discussions with the network about becoming a co-host of the show's third hour Today's Take. If the talks push through, we will see more of her with other Today show hosts Natalie Morales, Al Roker, and Willie Geist. Today's Take's format is more of a talk show than Today's newsier segment.
Currently, Tamron Hall spends most of her time in the "Orange Room," which is Today's new segment devoted to trends in social media and covers events like the Golden Globes, the report said.
Tamron Hall also anchors NewsNation, a weekday show MSNBC launched in 2010 that features high profile interviews and in-depth coverage of U.S., world, and entertainment news. With Tamron Hall on board, NewsNations has covered countless and important news stories, which include a live broadcast of Osama Bin Laden's death from Ground Zero.
