Thomas Albert Roberts, born on October 5, 1972, in Towson, Maryland, is an American television journalist with a distinguished career in news and entertainment. He pursued his education in communication and journalism, graduating from Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) in 1994. Roberts began his career in local news, starting at a small cable station in Westminster, Maryland, and moving on to KNSD, an NBC affiliate in San Diego, as a writer and field producer. He further honed his skills as a general-assignment reporter for KLKN-TV in Lincoln, Nebraska.
Roberts’s career progressed with roles as a nightly news anchor and investigative reporter for Fox affiliate WFTX-TV in Fort Myers, Florida, and later for WAVY-TV, an NBC affiliate in Portsmouth, Virginia. He joined CNN in December 2001, based in Atlanta, Georgia, where he became a weekday anchor on CNN Headline News. During his tenure at CNN, he covered significant events such as the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster and the Iraq War. In 2002, he earned an Emmy Award nomination for his investigative reporting on a local puppy mill, which resulted in its closure. After leaving CNN in 2007, he briefly worked for syndicated entertainment programs like ‘Entertainment Tonight’ and ‘The Insider’ in Los Angeles, and then as a correspondent for CBS News, covering events like the trial of Conrad Murray.
In April 2010, Roberts joined MSNBC as a freelance anchor, subsequently becoming a full-time anchor in December of the same year. He hosted ‘Live with Thomas Roberts’ and ‘Out There with Thomas Roberts,’ a weekly show focusing on LGBT equality issues. His coverage of the Supreme Court decision on marriage equality in 2015 earned him an Emmy Award. He also made appearances as a fill-in anchor for ‘Today’ and ‘NBC Nightly News,’ becoming the first openly gay man to anchor network evening news in July 2015.
