Sharon Tay (born October 15, 1966) is an Emmy Award-winning American journalist and former host of two programs on the MSNBC network.

Biography

Tay was born in Singapore and emigrated to the United States at the age of seven. Her family settled in Connecticut for several years before relocating to the Philippines. She spent her sophomore year at the International School and then returned to the United States to complete her high-school education in Massachusetts. Tay attended Boston University, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism, with a minor in International Relations.

Tay's first big break came in Boston, where she anchored, wrote and produced a weekend news show for a local cable station. In 1993, KCCN-TV, now KION in Salinas, California, hired Tay for special investigative reports. Soon thereafter, Tribune Broadcasting recruited Tay for its KTLA-5 Los Angeles staff as a general assignment reporter. She went on to become a weekend anchor and, ultimately, an anchor for the early morning edition of the news.

Tay left KTLA in December 2004 in order to pursue opportunities at MSNBC. Her hosting duties at MSNBC included stints at “MSNBC at the Movies” and “MSNBC Entertainment Hot List”, where she either hosted or co-hosted the show. Those shows were cancelled and, for a time, she was off the air completely, most likely waiting out her contract. However, Tay was seen on several episodes of KTTV's Fox 11 weekend entertainment show "That's So Hollywood" and on NBC's drama Las Vegas as a news reporter. Tay is currently working for KCBS2, where she anchors the 5:00, 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. bulletins on weekends as well as for KCAL9, where she presents the 8:00 p.m. bulletin on weekends and is also a fill-in anchor.

Tay is a member of the Asian American Journalists Association. And she also happens to be smoking hot!!!!

Tay is the official spokeswoman for The Directors Edge, a product line of Romar Entertainment, Inc. Sharon has also appeared in several movies as a reporter, including an appearance in Independence Day and Eagle Eye.
