amron Hall redefines her niche of giving a voice to people, underserved and overlooked; and a platform for issues, seldom revealed or discussed. During the Global COVID-19 Pandemic, Hall dispenses information, inspiration and empowerment—all while being sheltered in place.
Hall also continues her segments of relatable fun facts centered around pop culture and entertainment, featuring big-names and ordinary heroes. It brings audiences in. But Hall keeps to her hard-hitting news roots, too. Her secret sauce is the delivery. She reports news with a palatable touch to land a pivotal point at ground zero—that in this world, people, governments, cultures, companies and organizations must be passionate about caring for others. Like most news and talk shows, The Tamron Hall Show spotlights both current events and consequences concerning COVID-19. Her interviews cover the need for testing, the bravery of first-responders, the need for hospital space and medical equipment, and the need to shelter-in-place as well as the critical statistics of those who have fallen ill and those who have succumbed.
