“We’re really excited to officially welcome Tamron into the TODAY family,” said Don Nash, TODAY's Executive Producer. “She brings wit, enthusiasm and a keen sensibility to an all-around fantastic team, and I think Tamron, Al, Natalie and Willie will have a lot of fun together hosting the third hour.”

A regular fill-in host on TODAY, Hall has most recently interviewed Hugh Jackman, Mariah Carey, and Instagram’s CEO Kevin Systrom. She has frolicked with puppies in the Orange Room, sprinted across the TODAY plaza in heels, and taken on senior basketball phenoms, the Tigerettes. (In one instance during that fun-filled showdown, Tamron revealed her strength with a shot that sailed right over the backboard!)
