“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.

“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.
