Sportscaster Bryant Gumbel has been rushed to a New York City hospital after suffering a โmedical emergency,โ 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 โstill getting treatmentโ Tuesday.
It was not immediately clear what caused the medical emergency.
A family member told the outlet that Gumbel was โokayโ but would not disclose further information about his condition.
The four-time Emmy winner 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.

โThe show tried to do some things in sports journalism that no one else was doing,โ Gumbel said at the time. โI think it was one of the few avenues that could honestly explore issues without having to worry about ratings or sponsorships or relationships.โ
In his early career, Gumbel started as the sports anchor at KNBC in Los Angeles before joining NBC Sports in the fall of 1975.
He served as host of the network’s NFL, baseball and NCAA Tournament coverage, including the famed 1979 title game between Magic Johnson’s Michigan State and Larry Bird’s Indiana State. He moved to NBC News in January 1982 to host the Today show, a role he had for 15 years.
Gumbel was the prime-time host of NBC’s coverage of the 1988 Seoul Olympics. He was originally slated to be the prime-time host for the 1980 Moscow Games until the United States boycotted them.
Gumbelโs older brother, Greg Gumbel, died less than a year ago after battling cancer. The 78-year-old was also a sports broadcaster.
