Here’s to more Prince & golf, Mr. Gumble.

Bryant Gumbel is one of the reasons I wanted to be a newscaster when I was a little kid back in the 90’s. Never been in front of the camera but worked behind the camera as a videographer for news and have interviewed probably over a thousand people for news reporters and on camera. Also met Bryant Gumbel at the Today Show’s 50th anniversary and dude was very nice. Keep on doing the damn thing Mr. Gumbel.

I have watched Real Sports my entire life and it is (with CBS Sunday Morning) the best news storytelling you can watch on television. Congratulations to Mr. Gumble. I also want to acknowledge the editing team for including Bernard Goldberg in the clips highlighting the great journalism done on the show. The show suffered when he left and he was a huge part of many of the big stories it broke. Mr. Goldberg's report from Sochi in 2016 titled "The Lord of The Rings" was the best reporting I have ever seen in my life. He faced down Putin's secret police, was detained by the Russian government, and still did a standup as soon as he was released. This show is one of the last GREAT news programs. All we have left is 60 Minutes & Sunday Morning.

i rarely had HBO i guess but surely would have loved watching BG's sports show. i never thought he was anything he shouldn't have been on a show as flush with cash as the "today" show. i preferred him to any male anchor before or after him and had a huge crush on jane pauley as a 15 year old. i recall bryant weeping about ali losing to frazier in 1971 which was moving and even tom brokaw knows prince was a great recording artist (probably).

As I recall, it took a while for Today to recover from the loss of Barbara Walters, and GMA actually became the top morning show for a while, until the Gumbel-Pauley team started to click to regain the top spot again. There was a definite chemistry that made the show comfortable (until the execs tried to introduce change, which backfired).

So many mornings as a kid growing up in NYC, just downtown from the Today studio in the 80’s watching these two…who in a funny way, felt like family. Hearing their voices together is giving me this crazy feeling of warmth, of safety, of more innocent times, when everyone I knew, everyone, was still alive, Summer’s felt like long seasons, and the world was my oyster. I remember how close Bryant was with Arthur Ashe. When Arthur passed away, Bryant, usually so stoic, understandably couldn’t keep his emotions intact. He cried in front of all of us, and we, my family, cried with him. I miss these two together, and I miss that time in my life. I’m grateful for all of it.

Bryant has had ups and downs. Yes, he's been prickly. However, when he confronted Oliver North for lying to Congress, I said, "This is a good man." My favorite moment was when Dave Letterman stuck a bullhorn out his window, as Bryant was doing the "Today Show" alfresco at 30 Rock Plaza. _"This is Lawrence Grossman, President of NBC News, and I'm not wearing pants. I'm not wearing pants."_ Bryant was not amused.
