Former Today cohost Bryant Gumbel has been hospitalized in New York City.

TMZ, the first to break the news on Tuesday, October 21, claimed that Humbel had a “medical emergency.” The outlet reported that Gumbel was transported from his apartment building in Manhattan to a local hospital after 9 p.m. on Monday, October 20.

The former cohost reportedly remains hospitalized as of Tuesday. One of his family members told TMZ that Gumbel is “OK,” but did not reveal further details about his health.
