Sportscaster Bryant Gumbel has been rushed to a New York City hospital after suffering a “medical emergency,” according to a report. The Today Show legend, 77, was taken to a local hospital from his Manhattan apartment at around 9 p.m. Monday, TMZ reports. He was reportedly seen being transported on a gurney and was “still getting treatment” Tuesday. It was not immediately clear what caused the medical emergency. A family member told the outlet that Gumbel was “okay” but would not disclose further information about his condition. The four-time Emmy winner started out as a co-host of the Today Show in 1982. He joined CBS as a broadcaster in 1997 and went on to host Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on HBO, which ended its 29-season run in December 2023. “The show tried to do some things in sports journalism that no one else was doing,” Gumbel said at the time. “I think it was one of the few avenues that could honestly explore issues without having to worry about ratings or sponsorships or relationships.” More follows
