Tamron Hall has left NBC News , after becoming the most high-profile flotsam and jetsam of the division’s hire of Megyn Kelly — who is getting, among other things, the third hour of Today that Hall co-hosted. It was the Hall talks that led NBC News to inform Today staff of its Kelly-related 9 AM shakeup.
