MSNBC newswoman Tamron Hall

Tamron Hall is one of the best reasons to watch MSNBC.

The Texas-born Hall is a daytime anchor on that cable news channel, and she currently co-anchors "The Big Picture" in the 3 PM Eastern hour with David Shuster. Their witty, playful banter is fun to listen to.

Prior to joining MSNBC, Tamron Hall was a general assignment reporter at KTVT-TV in Dallas, and she was a reporter and morning anchor at WFLD-TV in Chicago for ten years (1997 to 2007).
