A source revealed to the New York Post that “Today has been doing a test piece with Pippa in Utah, and if it works out well — and it looks like it will — they will hire her as a correspondent.
“NBC, along with all the major networks, has been trying to sign Pippa for some time.

“The deal with NBC isn’t done yet, but everybody is hopeful it will be done very soon. They want to make sure Pippa is comfortable in this role. The ratings for Pippa’s interview with Matt Lauer showed she is very popular with Today viewers, and she really impressed everyone at NBC.”
While nothing has been made official yet, the royal sibling would report on subjects such as lifestyle and health, rather than British royals news, the source added.

Pippa was in talks for the deal back in June, however an NBC rep denied the reports at the time, saying, “This is 100 percent not true and it seems anyone suggesting otherwise is ‘royally’ jealous. Or NBC News is ‘royally’ fibbing, again.”
NBC is yet to comment on the recent developments.
