Who Is ’90 Day Fiance’ Tell-All Host Shaun Robinson?
Most people recognize Shaun Robinson from her work on the 90 Day Fiancé Tell-All reunion show at the end of each season. But Robinson’s work goes much farther back than her time on the popular reality show. She made a career for herself in broadcast journalism despite many obstacles. But her goals took her even farther than that. From her record tenure on a well-known entertainment news program to her philanthropic work in the community, Robinson has achieved many things so far. Here’s what you may not have heard about Robinson’s background.
Making her way into broadcast journalism
According to Forbes, “To say Shaun Robinson is an accomplished trailblazer is an understatement.” She started her career in her hometown of Detroit, where she was hosting a talk show on a local TV station. After she rejected the advances of the owner of the station, she was demoted, so she moved on to another TV anchor and reporting job in Flint, Michigan. When that didn’t work out, she found another job, this time in Milwaukee as a medical reporter.
Her determination kept her in the game, despite setbacks, and she was in Milwaukee for almost four years. After working in a few more positions, she auditioned for a position with Access Hollywood. She got the job, and she went on to become one of the longest-running entertainment show anchors with them, working from 1999 to 2015. Her days of struggling to be noticed were behind her. But she wasn’t done.
Career advances, awards, and nonprofit work
Shaun Robinson has been a contributing reporter on a number of news shows, including NBC Nightly News, CNN, MSNBC, and more. She’s also covered many entertainment events, winning an Emmy for her coverage of A Grand Night in Harlem. She’s been awarded many other awards, including a Gracie Award, the Outstanding Coverage of Race & Ethics Award, and recognition of her work from both the Associated Press and American Women in Radio and Television.
She’s also worked as an actor, appearing in Bruce Almighty, Law & Order, Dr. Doolittle 2, Monk, Everybody Hates Chris, Charmed, and more. To encourage young women, she’s established a nonprofit called The SHAUN Foundation, which stands for their support of charities that work in Stem, Health, Arts, Unity, and Neighborhoods. Another effort to support girls was the book she wrote, Exactly As I Am: Celebrated Women Share Candid Advice with Today’s Girls on What it Takes to Believe in Yourself.
Her work with ’90 Day Fiancé’
According to TV Insider, another part of her impressive career has been Robinson’s work with the 90 Day Fiancé franchise. In 2016, she joined them to host 90 Day Tell-All, the reunion show at the end of each season. This led to her work in several other related shows, including Happily Ever After?, Before the 90 Days, and The Other Way. She’s known for her direct, tell-it-like-it-is style, which helps the cast members open up and share a bit more honestly than they might have before.
Recently, she’s hosted a new show, 90 Days Bares All, which brings together people from past seasons of the show as well as the current season, along with people who work behind the scenes. Robinson’s career has been wide-ranging and successful. For fans of 90 Day Fiancé, her interviewing talent has given them interesting insights into the show and the participants that fascinate them.
