CoverStory By Jay Bobbin Tamron Hall's career path has led her back to daytime television — and to a program with her own stamp on it, in every way. That starts with the title: The Disney-syndicated, New York-based "Tamron Hall" begins its week- day run Monday, Sept. 9 (check local listings). The host intends to draw heavily from personal experience in doing what she terms "a traditional, layered daytime talk show," encompassing recent, very big developments for her. She married music talent executive Steven Greener earlier this year, and in the spring, they welcomed their (and her) first child, Moses. "After I left my last job (on NBC's 'Today'), I didn't know what form I would take as a journalist," Hall confirms. "Would I write? Would I create a blog? I started to think about all the shows that I'd done. At one point in time, I was on six different shows (includ- ing) 'Deadline: Crime,' 'To- day,' (news programming on) MSNBC and 'Sister Wives.' I hosted the Macy's Fourth of July parade. Ba- sically, if there was a show, I was going to take the gig if I was qualified for it. And we thought, 'Let's take all of these things together."' "Tamron Hall" is that hybrid, but its genesis eventually was complicated by the troubles of the firm initially involved in making it, Harvey Weinstein's production company. "It was like the gut punch that I received when I left my prior job," Hall allows. "but the vision of the show and traditional daytime talk, I knew, and I felt strongly that there was an open- ing. Then Disney reached out, and they believed ... so the players, if you will, changed but the game re- mained the same."
