Broadcasting icon Bryant Gumbel has been hospitalized in New York City following a reported medical emergency, according to TMZ.

The 77-year-old journalist was transported from his Manhattan apartment building to a nearby hospital, where he’s receiving treatment. His condition remains unclear, and representatives have not yet released an official statement. A family member told TMZ that Bryant is “okay.”

Gumbel is best known for his 15-year run as cohost of NBC’s Today show and for leading HBO’s acclaimed series Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel. His impact on journalism and sports broadcasting has made him one of the most respected figures in television.

The news comes just a year after the passing of his brother, fellow broadcaster Greg Gumbel.
