The best advice I received came late, and it’s this: Don’t read the comments section of any story that mentions you! – Tamron Hall
I remember reading the cruelest, most awful thing about my hair online. A person speculated about who I was as a person and even read into my personal life based solely off my hairstyle. He or she said I must be lazy because I have short hair. It was just devastating. – Tamron Hall
Everything I ask is a question from Tamron, like it or not. My team does not write my questions. We put together a segment. We talk about the elements that I want, but we have a conversation for that hour with our guests. – Tamron Hall
On career day as a young journalist, I scraped up my money and went to this big conference for young journalists, and the great feedback I got was that I would not or should not become an anchor because my eyelashes were too long and too distracting. – Tamron Hall
One of my favorite memories was one time Prince picked me up and said we were going to Michael Jordan’s birthday party. – Tamron Hall
It’s a tough town, it’s a loving town, it’s a supportive town, and that’s why so many great news people, journalists have come through Chicago or are from Chicago. – Tamron Hall
I love Chicago. I wouldn’t be where I am now, and I certainly wouldn’t have the confidence that I hope that I project, if I’d not lived in Chicago. – Tamron Hall
I love edgy comedy. ‘Coming to America’ still gets me and ‘Friday.’ I watch old Richard Pryor stand-up on VHS, too. – Tamron Hall
I feel it’s tougher for the guys, because if I break up with them, then they can go on and be forced to watch me on TV every day. I don’t see them. – Tamron Hall
I laugh about it all the time, but, for whatever reason, a lot of people think that I wear a wig. I get emails and tweets about people commenting on my hair being a wig. It’s one of the strangest but most entertaining things I’ve read about myself online. – Tamron Hall
The two things that I require for anyone who’s around me: you need to love food, and you need to be able to laugh. – Tamron Hall
Al Roker is one of the most sensible people you’ll ever meet. He’s raised two daughters and a son. And I love him, in that as jovial as he is, he’s a straight shooter. He’s a New Yorker, as they say. – Tamron Hall
Looking back, I’ve always enjoyed hearing about the lives of other people, their experience through their jobs, their lives, and their children. It’s always been a treat to hear about others. – Tamron Hall
My dad was in the Army, so what was happening internationally and nationally was always important to my family. – Tamron Hall
I’m proud of my hard work. Working hard won’t always lead to the exact things we desire. There are many things I’ve wanted that I haven’t always gotten. But, I have a great satisfaction in the blessings from my mother and father, who instilled a great work ethic in me both personally and professionally. – Tamron Hall
I will never answer that question of what are the challenges I face. You speak it into existence, and I choose to use that air for other things. – Tamron Hall
If someone says, ‘I love that lipstick,’ I will always try to answer, honestly, if I know what color it is. It’s a connective tissue. – Tamron Hall
You understand, in my life, the only other person I spoke with or speak with more than Prince is my mother. – Tamron Hall
I met Bon Jovi on the way to Washington, D.C. I think I called him Jon Jovi. Ugghhhh. I just smiled and pretended it didn’t happen. I love him and his wife; they’re so sweet. I was very nervous. – Tamron Hall
