Former Today Cohost Bryant Gumbel Hospitalized After 'Medical Emergency'
"It's nothing to hide from. They opened up my chest, they took a malignant tumor and they took part of my lung and they took some other goodies. And the pathology on most of the stuff had been benign, but enough aggressive cells had escaped the tumor that it warranted some treatment and I went through that and it's done now."
"I'm still doing well. Doctors tell me I'm free and clear, so I hope for better times."
"So very proud yet humble to receive the @theemmys.tv Lifetime Achievement Award and given to me by a dear friend, Bryant Gumbel."
Bryant Gumbel was transported from his Manhattan apartment to a local hospital after 9 p.m. on October 20 following a medical emergency. He remained hospitalized on October 21, and a family member said he is "OK" but declined to provide further health details. Gumbel began working at Today in 1982 and left in 1997 to join CBS. In 2009 he underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor and part of his lung; doctors later told him he was free and clear. In June 2025 he presented Al Roker with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards. Less than one year before hospitalization, his brother Greg Gumbel died.
