Natalie Morales is moving West to become the co-host of “Access Hollywood” and “Access Hollywood Live,” TheWrap has learned.
In addition, Morales will serve as the West Coast anchor of “Today.” Noah Oppenheim, the NBC executive in charge of “Today,” informed the staff of the change in a memo on Tuesday.
“With our show’s increasing focus on West Coast stories, it became clear to me that having a permanent anchor presence in L.A. would be of enormous value,” Oppenheim said in the note obtained by TheWrap (see below).
“Please join me in congratulating Natalie on her family’s big move and her exciting new roles,” he continued.
