Was Tamron Hall fired from the Today Show?

TAMRON Hall had a two-year leave of absence after an abrupt departure from NBC’s Today Show in 2017.

The daytime star lost her time slot along with Al Roker to make way for the short-lived Megyn Kelly Today.

Was Tamron Hall fired?

Tamron Hall, 52, was not fired from the Today Show but instead was “phased out."

Instead, NBC replaced the show’s time slot at 9am with Megyn Kelly Today — who was eventually fired for making blackface remarks on-air.

Hall said that her sudden exit from the Today Show left her “heartbroken.”

Hall told about the network’s decision: "I was heartbroken.

"(Imagine) you've been putting in the work, and suddenly your employer says they're phasing you out. I had some suspicions, because I'm a reporter and I'm pretty intuitive, but no one wants to lose their job. 

"It wasn't about who I was losing it to — it was like a relationship where you're putting in 100% and the person who's putting in less has the nerve to break up with you.

In September 2019, Hall debuted her new daytime talk show produced by ABC, Tamron Hall, and wasted no time rehashing how she got there.

She claimed to the audience and viewers at home that she was "fired" by NBC. 

She said: "I go into work one day. I left fired. 'Demoted,' I guess is what they called it. I called it fired. Inside, I was falling apart. I had worked since I was 14.

"I think it was being willing to be vulnerable, being willing to say that it was embarrassing, it hurt, I was on the mat, but having people around me say, 'You don't have to stay down.'

";And that really is what our show is about. At your lowest point, you’re not the only one going through that." 

What did she say about Megyn Kelly’s firing?

Hall claims that she did not feel glad that Kelly’s show was eventually canceled due to her comments.
