So the “Tamron Hall” show will stick around for at least one more season, which Hall talked about in a recent Twitter message.

Tyler Perry expressed how happy he is about the show returning, and he told his followers to keep on supporting the veteran journalist.

After leaving her longtime gig at the “Today” show because the now-ousted Megyn Kelly was given her time slot, there was word that Hall would be producing her own talk show with Harvey Weinstein.

But the show and that partnership hit a big snag after Weinsten was accused of rape, harassment and other sexual improprieties in 2017.

Then in 2018, Hall began working with Disney–ABC Domestic Television for her talk show, which debuted on Sept. 9 of this year.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the “Tamron Hall” show has either reached or matched its season high in household ratings for nine straight weeks.

“As one of the highest-rated new talk shows in five years, ‘Tamron Hall’ is connecting with audiences in such a powerful and unique way, and we are thrilled to build on that momentum with a second season,” said ABC Entertainment President Karey Burke in a press statement.

Hall also talked about the renewal in a Dec. 12 Instagram post.

“Thank you for the entire Tam Fam nation out there,” she stated. “We are building a great community. Thank you for the second season. We would not be here without you. This is an opportunity. We know it’s there, so start the conversation. Let’s talk about it.”

Perry commented on the renewal Friday on his Instagram page and encouraged everyone to keep watching Hall’s show.

“You have no idea how excited I am that @tamronhallshow was renewed for a second season,” he wrote. “Let’s keep watching and get her to many more seasons to come. Thank you guys for watching. We have to support each other!!!”

Besides hosting, Hall is also an executive producer on her show.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
