Stark, currently at the NFL Network, was the sideline reporter for ABC’s Monday Night Football from 2000 to 2003, before becoming a correspondent for the Today show. Stark's hiring is surprising because Kathryn Tappen, who worked NBC's Super Bowl LVI in February opposite Tafoya, was considered a shoe-in for the job.
