This is ultimately why she joined ABC and found success there.
Opening up on the Question Everything podcast, Sara got candid and revealed all.
“You have an amazing experience but then the executives at NBC say something to you that I wouldn’t even call this a wall this is like debilitating to me,” podcast host, Danielle Robay said.
Sara then replied: “Yeah it’s a roof.
Danielle asked: “What did they say?”
Sara explained: “It was the end of a contract and I had approached them about more of the hosting roles because I loved being in the field.
“Again at the at the expense of never having tried I wanted a shot in the hosting chairs.”
She then said how Jeff Zuker told her “I’ll let you swing”, but then he left the company and she was no longer asked.
NBC’S SNUB TO SARA
“We don’t see you doing that,” said one “pivotal person” at the head of the fourth hour at the time.
Sara then revealed how ABC had already been approaching her and saying “we want to do bigger things with you” – which is why she ended up taking the leap.

She didn’t know if they would bench her, but she was “absolutely told what would happen at NBC”.
Sara then said: “Hearing it was the end of the road when I had so many things I needed to prove to myself still.
“I had dreams of being on The View. I’m not done yet. Maybe I do it and I fail but I tried.
“I needed my shot. I could not stop by choice and so I had to go,” she confessed.
The View hosts

The View is an American talk show airing on ABC from 11am-12pm EST, Monday through Friday. It features a diverse group of women that discuss the day’s “Hot Topics”, ranging from hard-hitting news to celebrity gossip. The six co-hosts include:
Whoopi Goldberg

Sara landed a job as the production coordinator for NBC’s Today in 2002.
In 2009, she became the Today show’s fourth-hour contributing correspondent.
But she left the role in 2013, with the bad blood between her and show now seemingly revealed.
“Sometimes you have to leave home to grow up,” Sara said when she left Today more than a decade ago.
Reacting to the clip of the podcast from last week, fans were quick to flock to the comments section on Instagram.
‘YOU KNOW YOUR WORTH’
“Sara! You amazing, they didn’t see you potential I’m sure now they want to kick themselves,” said one person in the comments.
“You know your worth!, do your thing Sara. I enjoy watching you, does matter what you’re doing,” penned a second.
While a third said: “Sara, they had a diamond in their Company and they missed it. Keep doing the great work that you are doing.”
A fourth then added: “NBC fumbled @sarahaines and we all benefited, the next step is an Oprah type one on one interview show which I think she will be great at.”
And a fifth wrote: “Good for you Sara I thought you were awesome at NBC thank goodness ABC saw your true worth and you saw your own potential.”
