Posted byBy Tia Berger | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Videos of NFL player Colin Kaepernick training may be stirring up a buzz, but his long-time girlfriend Nessa Diab just landed a new job as a talk show host with a major television program, NBC announced Monday.

Many know Diab from hosting radio station “Hot 97” and MTV reunion specials for “Total Request Live”, “Jersey Shore”, and “Teen Mom”, but “Talk Stoop” on NBC will be her newest venture.

“Nessa’s funny, honest and unfiltered personality is exactly what ‘Talk Stoop’ is all about. When people are talking about something or making noise on social media, you can be sure that Nessa will ask the right questions to get audiences the answers they’re looking for. We’re thrilled that she’s joining our ‘Talk Stoop’ family and excited for fans everywhere to fall in love with her, just like we did,” said Senior Vice President of LX.TV Productions, Meredith McGinn, Boston 10 reported.

Diab will make her on-air debut April 8. while staged in a midtown condominium in Manhattan. Her interview sit-downs will include celebrities like Tyra Banks, Kandi Burruss, Deepak Chopra, Thomas Hayden Church, Rita Moreno, Rosie Perez, Dennis Quaid, Maria Shriver, Bernie Williams, Forest Whitaker and more. “Talk Stoop” which was created in 1999 has featured a significant amount of interviews with actors, athletes and celebrity figures.

The 36-year-old has earned more than 10 years of hosting experience among stations in New York and San Francisco, CA. She currently still hosts “Nessa on Air,” at “Hot 97”.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
