Marcy Gumbel- Professional Career
Marcy Gumbel has not revealed her career but her husband Greg’s brother Bryant, who was working as a television sportscaster at KNBC in Los Angeles at the time, notified him in 1973 that another NBC owned and operated station, WMAQ-TV in Chicago, was auditioning for a sports announcer. Greg was selling hospital supplies in Detroit at the time. He eventually obtained the job, moved back to Chicago, and worked for WMAQ-TV for seven years. Dennis Swanson, the sportscaster he succeeded, went on to become the head of ABC Sports.
Prior to joining CBS, Gumbel worked for MSG, ESPN, and WFAN radio in New York City. He hosted Sports Center on ESPN and did “play-by-play” for early NBA games. Gumbel worked as a backup commentator for Marv Albert on New York Knicks games as well as college basketball coverage on MSG. Gumbel hosted the pregame and postgame shows for MSG when it signed a multimillion-dollar contract to broadcast New York Yankees games in 1989. In addition to his MSG responsibilities, he hosted the first radio morning show on WFAN. When WFAN took over WNBC’s AM 660 frequency, station management replaced him with WNBC Radio personality Don Imus. [4]
First appearance on CBS
Gumbel’s CBS career began in 1988 with part-time work as an NFL broadcaster. Gumbel began announcing college basketball as well in 1989. For the 1990 to 1993 seasons, he co-hosted The NFL Today with Terry Bradshaw. He also hosted CBS’ coverage of Major League Baseball, college football, and the Daytona 500 in 1999.
Gumbel also did play-by-play for the NBA (with Quinn Buckner), Major League Baseball, including the 1993 American League Championship Series (with Jim Kaat), and College World Series baseball.
He was the prime time anchor for the 1994 Winter Olympics from Lillehammer, Norway, and the co-anchor for the 1992 Winter Olympics from Albertville, France, on weekday mornings.
NBC Sports
Gumbel joined NBC in 1994 after CBS lost the NFL and Major League Baseball broadcasting contracts (his final on-air duty for CBS was doing play-by-play for the College World Series[5]). Gumbel hosted NBC’s coverage of the 1994 Major League Baseball All-Star Game while at the network. He also did play-by-play for the 1995 Major League Baseball National League Division Series and National League Championship Series (both times with Joe Morgan), did play-by-play for The NBA on NBC, hosted NBC’s daytime coverage of the 1996 Summer Olympics from Atlanta, Georgia, hosted the 1995 World Championships of Figure Skating, and was the studio host for The NFL on NBC.
CBS’s current career
Gumbel left NBC following the network coverage of Super Bowl XXXII to rejoin CBS. His first significant task was to act as the network’s studio host for college basketball coverage, including the NCAA men’s basketball tournament, which he still does today.
As CBS had recently bought the rights to NBC’s previous NFL package, Gumbel joined the broadcast crew as the primary announcer, with fellow NBC alumnus Phil Simms serving as his color analyst. Gumbel was the NFL’s top commentator on CBS from 1998 to 2003, announcing Super Bowls XXXV and XXXVIII. During the 2004 NFL season, Gumbel changed places as host of The NFL Today with Jim Nantz, with Nantz taking over as the primary announcer.
Gumbel was replaced as studio presenter of The NFL Today by James Brown at the completion of the 2005 NFL season. Greg returned to the broadcast booth as the #2 play-by-play announcer, replacing Dick Enberg, and worked alongside color analyst Dan Dierdorf until Dierdorf retired at the end of the 2013–14 NFL season. Gumbel also worked in the #3 team with Trent Green from 2014 to 2019. During the 2018 NFL season, he shared a three-man booth with Green and Bruce Arians. Gumbel then swapped places with Kevin Harlan in 2020, joining forces with Rich Gannon. After CBS failed to renew Gannon’s contract, Adam Archuleta took over as Gumbel’s partner in the #4 spot the next year.
