Quiana Burns has been the executive producer and showrunner of
“Tamron Hall” since joining the syndicated daytime talk show in
October 2021. Under Burns’ and Hall’s leadership and vision, the
show has reached new season highs as the most improved returning
one-hour daytime talk show, growing by double digits in Total Viewers
and the Women 25-54 demo. It is also the only returning one-hour
daytime talk show that continues to grow its audience across all key
measures.

“Tamron Hall” has continued to prove its success, with 13 Daytime
Emmy® Award nominations, including two wins for Outstanding
Informative Talk Show Host. The show has also won an Iris Award and
two Gracie Awards and has been nominated for four NAACP Image Awards
and a GLAAD Media Award.

Burns first joined creative forces with Hall at MSNBC, where she
served as the executive producer of “MSNBC Live with Tamron Hall.”
She also executive produced “MSNBC Live with Ali Velshi,” helped
launch “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell,” and co-led the
Black Employee Network for the news divisions of MSNBC and NBC News.

Burns’ career at ABC News started in 2006 as a producer in the
Washington bureau, then as producer to anchor Robin Roberts on “Good
Morning America,” where she won three Emmy Awards. After a
successful run at MSNBC, Burns returned to ABC in May 2020, serving as
the executive broadcast producer of the weekend edition of “Good
Morning America,” running the show and leading the team’s coverage
of stories, including the global pandemic, the murder of George Floyd
and the country’s racial reckoning, the 2020 presidential election,
and breaking news. During her tenure, the broadcast grew in total
viewership and became No. 1 on Saturdays across all three key demos.

Throughout her career, Burns has worked in Chicago, Miami and
Milwaukee and has helped lead coverage of every major news story,
including the 9/11 terror attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the first
network interview with then-newly inaugurated President Barack Obama,
the Oscars®, the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, unrest in Ferguson
and the 2016 election. In addition to being a leader in producing
impactful programming, Burns has been an agent of change at ABC News
as a member of the Culture Council.

Burns was born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She earned her
bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the University of
Missouri-Columbia.
