HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel will end following this season after nearly three decades on air.
Bryant Gumbel, who has hosted the investigative sports program since April 1995, said hosting the show was a rewarding experience for him.
“Since day one at Real Sports we’ve consistently tried to look beyond the scoreboard, and focus instead on the many societal issues inherent in the world of sports,” Gumbel said in an exclusive interview with Deadline. “In the process we’ve had the opportunity to tell complex stories about race, gender, class, opportunity and so much more. Being able to do so at HBO for almost 3 decades has been very gratifying.”
