Tragic Details About Tamron Hall

In 2014, Tamron Hall became the first Black woman to co-anchor the Today. On breaking the glass ceiling at 43 years old, she told Essence, "I'm a part of this for women, for Black women, for all of us." During that time, Hall was very busy. In addition to co-anchoring the 9 a.m. hour of Today, she continued to anchor MSNBC's News Nation, as well as continued to host Deadline: Crime with Tamron Hall on Investigation Discovery. She told Essence that upon inking the Today contract, she channeled her inner Lena Horne, who was one of her biggest inspirations: "I have a jacket and a bracelet that belonged to her and when we finished the deal I put them on and posed in the mirror."

By January 2017, Hall was a shining star on NBC, co-hosting her hour of the popular morning show alongside Al Roker. The hour, titled, Today's Take was the #1 show in its time slot. Roker posted a tweet in excitement saying, "Congrats to our #TODAYsTake @TODAYshow 9am producers for producing the #1 morning show 7 weeks in a row!! @tamronhall and I are very blessed."

But despite the show's success, questions started brewing after NBC announced it was bringing on former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly to host a daytime news show. Soon, Hall's future on Today was clearly, albeit inexplicably, in jeopardy.
