The New York Post’s Kate Storey profiles Tamron Hall…
One of Hall’s biggest interviews in Chicago was with Sen. Barack Obama in 2007, shortly before he announced he was running for president. Not long after, she received a network job offer in NYC.
NBC’s then-president, Steve Capus, laid it out in a call, asking Hall, “Do you want to be a big fish in a little pond or do you want to try something new?” She chose the latter, joining MSNBC, where she was eventually given her own show.
A natural, she’s a pop-culture and news junkie who says she goes to sleep with her TV on and her iPad, iPhone, BlackBerry and MacBook next to her bed.
“I can’t keep up with everything that she does,” says Ilyas Kirmani, Hall’s “NewsNation” producer.
Hall manages her chaotic schedule with no personal assistant or publicist. And she even finds time for dating.
“Under the legal definition, technically I am single,” says Hall with a big smile when asked if she has anyone special in her life. “But I’m a normal girl in the city, I like to have my fun. I’m less of a Samantha [from ‘Sex and the City’], though.”
