Sportscaster and former “Today” show cohost Bryant Gumbel was reportedly rushed to the hospital in New York City. Sources said Gumbel was transported from his Manhattan apartment building Monday evening and remains hospitalized. First responders were seen moving him on a gurney as he left the building, with reports indicating he is still receiving treatment as of Tuesday afternoon.
Details about the 77-year-old’s condition remain unclear, though a family member described him as “okay” without providing further specifics. Gumbel, who retired from broadcasting in 2023, previously served as cohost of NBC’s morning show for 15 years and hosted HBO’s investigative series “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.”
He faced health challenges earlier in his life, including a battle with lung cancer in 2009. His older brother, Greg Gumbel, a renowned sports broadcaster, died in December 2024 after battling pancreatic cancer.
