'Not just a co-host, but a good friend': Al Roker pays tribute to Tamron Hall on Today after she quits over Megyn Kelly's arrival - as activist requests meeting with NBC to discuss 'whitewashing'
- Al Roker paid tribute to Tamron Hall on the third hour of Today on Thursday the morning after it was revealed she had quit her job after 10 years
- 'Personally, Tamron has been not just a co-host here on Today’s Take for the past three years but a good friend. And not just to me, to all of us here,' said Roker
- Hall joined Roker on Today's Take in February of 2014, with the hour also including hosts Natalie Morales and Willie Geist at that time
- Geist announced he was leaving in August and Morales moved to Los Angeles to host Access Hollywood, while Billy Bush came on to join Roker and Hall
- Bush exited the show two months later with a $10m severance package after audio of him and President Trump laughing about sexual assault was leaked
- The National Association of Black Journalists has requested a meeting with NBC to discuss the 'whitewashing' of the network
