HBO Real Sports anchor wants to return to his golf game.
Bryant Gumbel's been a hot search so far this week, as he revealed on Live! with Regis and Kelly Monday morning that he recently underwent surgery to remove a malignant tumor in his lung.
The former Today reporter, 61, was guest hosting Live! on Monday when he made the announcement to the audience...but surrounding the operation, his goal was to keep the matter very private. "We had told a few people, we told my family, obviously," Gumbel said. "I even kept it from my staff at Real Sports."
How serious was it? Well, cancer's cancer -- it's never a good thing. But Gumbel said, "I'm okay for the time being." He also revealed the next step: he'll see his surgeon again next week. He said, "I'm hoping they greenlight me to play golf again," he said.
Meanwhile golf god Tiger Woods just wants his life back. Read about the speculations that his mother-in-law Barbro Holmberg, in from Sweden, was hospitalized for a heart attack early Tuesday morning. And Tiger's hospitalization November 27? We just learned he was admitted for a drug overdose and apparent suicide attempt.
And speaking of golf-lovers like Bryant Gumbel and Tiger Woods...did SNL take their Tiger Woods golf club-beating spoof too far on Saturday?
