Tamron Hall

The always dramatic world of morning news got hit with another bombshell in February 2017 when Tamron Hall suddenly announced she was leaving NBC News and MSNBC. After the news broke, the Today show was thrust into the media spotlight as audiences tried to figure out why Hall quit and if NBC's newest hire, former Fox News star Megyn Kelly, had anything to do with it. Here's what we know.

Hall shocked her millions of fans when she announced she was leaving her top-rated post on the Today show, as well as her duties on MSNBC, after her contract expires at the end of February 2017. "The last ten years have been beyond anything I could have imagined, and I'm grateful," she said in a statement (via Page Six). "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."

"Tamron Hall will be leaving NBC News and MSNBC when her contract expires this month," a spokesperson for NBC said. "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."

Hall joined MSNBC and the Today show in 2007 and 2014, respectively.
