Greg Gumbel to Miss March Madness Due to Family Health Issues

For the first time in 26 years, CBS' staple March Madness host, Greg Gumbel, will not cover the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Greg Gumbel, a fixture of CBS' March Madness coverage for over two decades, is stepping aside this year due to family health matters.
Adam Zucker will take over Gumbel's hosting duties, with the support of analysts Seth Davis, Clark Kellogg, and Jay Wright.
Gumbel's colleagues expressed their well wishes and hopes for his return to the tournament coverage in 2025.
This marks the first absence for Gumbel since he began hosting the network's NCAA tournament coverage in 1998.
Ernie Johnson is expected to help fill in for Gumbel during his absence.
