Today on The Pivot, the guys are treated to a special guest- the very talented talk show host, Tamron Hall, for a conversation covering her underdog mentality, highs and lows of her career, starting a family late in her life, the value of second chances and proving people wrong.
Ryan, sharing similar Louisiana roots with Tamron, acknowledges that growing up, he didn't see many people that looked like him covering the news, especially females which is why he was so drawn to finding out how Tamron started her career. Opening up about a life changing moment while watching tv with her step dad and seeing Lola Johnson, the first African-American news anchor for a Dallas television station, inspired her to follow down that path and change the trajectory for black women with a passion in media.
Now an author and 2x Emmy winner of her own talk show, Tamron admits her road wasn't easy filled with many painful moments and shares how being a black woman on tv was once the loneliest place in the newsroom. Tamron speaks of her initial experience as a journalist and being chosen to cover stories because of her skin color and stereotypes rather than her skills. Fueled by her experiences, her commitment to diversifying the workplace and serving as a bridge to people like herself trying to get into the industry.
After leaving the Today Show, Tamron talks about how it was Harvey Weinstein who first tried to meet with her and pitch her on having her own show. Shortly after their first meeting is when Weinstein was exposed for sexual assault and Channing asks Tamron if she ever had any indication or saw signs of his behavior during their interactions.Sharing details for the first time publicly, Tamron opens up on how the entire scandal affected her personally and voices her thoughts on the entire scandal and aftermath of it.
Being raised in Dallas, Tamron is a lifelong Dallas Cowboys fan which immediately draws a negative reaction from Fred and Ryan, who ask why she still supports a losing franchise. Bigger than the game and team itself, Tamron says how Jerry Jones' impact on the sport has been pivotal to the entire league and all leagues around the world which keeps her being a fan because she appreciates the success not just as a team but from the business aspect of it.
Marrying late in life and becoming a mom at 48, Tamron opens up on how having a family was the missing puzzle piece to her full happiness. Channing asks how she finally settled down and knew her husband was the one and how having a son later in life has changed her. Leading into how Channing and his wife Aja are upcoming guests on the Tamron Hall show (airing Monday Oct 10th) and Tamron teases the episode and even tells the guys that Channing cries during the show, something all of us will have to see to believe!
