Does Bryant Gumbel have a history of health issues?
Yes, Bryant Gumbel has previously faced significant health challenges. In 2009, he opened up about his health. In his earlier decades, the former host had heavily smoked, which resulted in lung cancer in his later decades. He also admitted that he was a big smoker and used to smoke ‘three packs a day’ when he was young, and underwent an operation in which doctors removed a part of his lung. He called that an aggressive treatment. His candid disclosure earned him widespread respect for his openness about battling the disease.
