Tamron has been "an absolute hit with the viewers whenever she substitutes for one of the regular hosts during the third hour of TODAY. The audience responds to Tamron's authenticity....she is a team player, and the crew really likes her. Tamron made it known to her bosses that she wanted to be a part of TODAY's Olympic coverage but she was turned down. It was extremely disappointing to Tamron, but she has moved on," a source told RadarOnline.com.
