Thomas Albert Roberts (born October 5, 1972) is an Emmy Award-winning American television journalist who, since April 2010, has served as a news anchor for MSNBC, a cable-news channel. He previously anchored MSNBC Live, the daytime news platform of NBC News, on weekdays from 2-3pm ET. Before that he was anchor of Way Too Early and a contributor to Morning Joe. He is also an NBC News correspondent and is a fill-in anchor on Today and NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt.

Born Thomas Albert Roberts, he grew up in a Roman Catholic family in Towson, Maryland, and attended Catholic schools there, graduating from Calvert Hall College High School. In 1994, Roberts graduated from Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College) with a major in communication and a minor in journalism.

After college, his first job was reporting for a small cable station in Westminster, Maryland. He then moved to San Diego, California, and worked as a writer and field producer for NBC affiliate KNSD before relocating to Lincoln, Nebraska, where he worked as a general-assignment reporter with ABC affiliate KLKN-TV.

Roberts went on to become a nightly news anchor and investigative reporter for Fox affiliate WFTX-TV in Fort Myers, Florida, and later for WAVY-TV, an NBC affiliate in Portsmouth, Virginia, which serves the Hampton Roads area. At WAVY-TV, he co-anchored an afternoon newscast and was also the station's investigative and consumer correspondent.
