Veteran broadcaster Bryant Gumbel, best known for his roles as a co-host of NBC's Today and the host of HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, has been hospitalized following a medical emergency at his Manhattan residence. The 77-year-old was seen being taken from his apartment on a gurney on Monday, October 20, and as of Tuesday, October 21, he was still receiving treatment at a local hospital.
A family member has confirmed that Gumbel is "okay," though no further details about his condition or the nature of the emergency have been disclosed.

Bryant Gumbel has had a storied career, making history as the first Black co-host of Today in 1982 and later hosting Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on HBO from 1995 to 2023. The show concluded its 29-year run in December 2023, earning numerous awards for its investigative reporting on sports-related issues.
