The Tamron Hall Show has been renewed for its 8th season as several of her daytime talk show counterparts have fallen by the wayside.
Per Variety, the slogan for the new season is “Let’s Keep Talking.” Hall told the media outlet, “My vision of where we’re going usually comes to me in the middle of the night, and all of these changes were happening.”
Hall continued, “And I said, ‘Let’s Keep Talking.’ Season 8. That’s our thing. I called our team and I said, ‘Let’s Keep Talking.’”
She acknowledged that the media landscape is constantly changing. “The landscape is always going to change. Some of Conan [O’Brien]’s jokes at the Oscars where he talked about us watching our phones to consume movies and all of these AI jokes, they landed partly because the industry is fearful of these changes. So it’s not unique to daytime TV.”
Hall was already a seasoned journalist when the “Tamron Hall” first launched in September 2019, not long before the pandemic. The Temple University alumnus has taken home two Daytime Emmy Awards, winning Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host in both 2020 and 2022. The show has netted an additional 14 Daytime Emmy nominations.
Will the Tamron Hall Show capture more viewers amid show cancellations?
Over the years, Hall has built a loyal fanbase dubbed the “Tam Fam.” “I didn’t know that it was going to resonate as much as it did… but it’s about a community. At the beginning of the show, I imagined people from different area codes, different zip codes, different walks of life, having this place for an hour that you can laugh together, talk together. It’s not an original idea. What is important is that we were consistent at it.”
“Tamron Hall” is now Disney’s second longest-running syndicated talk show, behind just “Live With Kelly and Mark.” With “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” “Sherri,” “Steve Wilkos” and “Karamo” all ending their run, Hall said she sees an opportunity to capture some of those viewers next season.
In addition to Hall’s talk show, “The Jennifer Hudson Show” has been renewed for a fifth season and “The Drew Barrymore Show” recently earned a two-season renewal, keeping the Hollywood legend on the air through 2028.
