Katie Couric Recalls Bryant Gumbel's 'Incredibly Sexist' Response To Her Maternity Leave
HuffPost
The veteran reporter told Bill Maher that Gumbel was a bit "prickly" during their time working together on "Today."
Katie Couric says “Today” co-host Bryant Gumbel gave her “endless shit” about going on maternity leave back in the early ’90s.
The veteran newscaster remembered Gumble being a bit “prickly” when they worked together, telling Bill Maher, “He got mad at me because I was doing something on maternity leave.”
“He was giving me endless shit for taking like a month or two off,” Couric said while appearing on Maher’s “Club Random” podcast. “I was having my first baby.”
“Yeah, I could see that,” said Maher, who earlier in the interview revealed he’d heard Gumbel could be a tough nut to crack.
“He was like, ‘Why don’t you just drop it in the field and come back to work right away or something?’” Couric said, prompting Maher to add that Gumbel was clearly joking.
