Hall opted out of her contract and decided to leave NBC rather than take a lesser role and on February 1, 2017, NBC News and Hall released a joint statement confirming Hall’s decision to depart from NBC and MSNBC.

“The last 10 years have been beyond anything I could have imagined and I’m grateful,” Hall said at the time of the announcement.

She continued, “To all my great colleagues, I will miss you and I will be rooting for you.”

Hall currently hosts The Tamron Hall Show, a talk show produced and distributed by Disney Entertainment Distribution.

It debuted on September 9, 2019, in first-run syndication on ABC Owned Television Stations and local stations across the United States and Canada.

ANN CURRY

Ann Curry, 67, joined NBC News in 1990, first as the NBC News Chicago correspondent and then as the anchor of NBC News at Sunrise from 1991 to 1996.

She served as a substitute news anchor for Matt Lauer, 66, from 1994 to 1997 at Today before serving as a news anchor at The Today Show, becoming the program’s second-longest serving news anchor, behind longtime host, Frank Blair, from 1997 to 2011.

Curry was named co-anchor of Dateline NBC with Stone Phillips, 69, and remained the primary anchor when Phillips left on July 2, 2007.

In June 2012, Curry became the national and international correspondent anchor for NBC News and the anchor at large for the Today Show.

Not long after, reports surfaced that Curry would be replaced as Today’s co-host.

Curry hired attorney Robert Barnett to represent her in her discussions with NBC but on June 28, Curry announced in an emotional broadcast on the show that she was leaving Today.

The ordeal was rumored to have been caused, in part, by a lack of chemistry between herself and her co-host, Lauer.
