The sports talk series has been a part of the premium cabler’s lineup for 29 years. Gumbel first launched the series in 1995 and has aired over 300 episodes to date.
“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 a statement. “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. I’m proud of the imprint we’ve made, so I’m ready to turn the page.
“Real Sports” has won 37 Sports Emmys throughout its run as well as 3 Peabody Awards. Each episode consists of multiple stories set within the world of sports. The show has featured a number of prominent correspondents as well, including Soledad O’Brien, Ariel Helwani, James Brown, Jim Lampley, and many more.
Gumbel is a highly-regarded sportscaster and journalist. In addition to his work on “Real Sports,” he is known for his work covering the NFL, Major League Baseball, college football, and more. He was also the co-host of “The Today Show” for 15 years between 1982 and 1997.
