Bryant Gumbel hospitalized, taken by ambulance from his New York home

Bryant Gumbel is currently hospitalized in New York after some sort of “medical emergency”… TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the former “Today” co-host was transported Monday, shortly after 9 p.m., from his Manhattan apartment building.

We’re told first responders had Bryant on a stretcher as they left the building and took him to a nearby hospital where he was Tuesday afternoon.

It’s unclear exactly what happened to the 77-year-old broadcasting legend, but we do know he’s still undergoing treatment. We’ve reached out to his reps for comment…so far, no response.

We spoke to a family member, who told us Bryant was “fine” but wouldn’t reveal any more details about his condition.

Bryant was a co-host of NBC’s long-running morning show for 15 years – first with Jane Pauley And Katie Couric. He was also a sportscaster and host of the popular HBO investigative series “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel.”

His older brother, Greg — who was also a broadcaster, mainly in the sports field — died last year at 78.
