Since it wasn't mentioned in the post nor in the linked article, I'll just add that Bryant Gumbel (KNBC, Los Angeles; NBC, including the Today Show; CBS; HBO and the NFL Network) is Greg's younger brother (Bryant is 76).
He was missed during March Madness last year.

Here is Greg Gumbel when He covered NBA Games on CBS and on NBC in the 1990's. RIP to a sports broadcasting legend.
Yeah, especially when you consider Greg's only 4 years younger than Dick Stockton.
Did he ever do football for cbs or cbs sports also?
He was also on what would be the last season for CBS Sports (1989) of what was The Prudential College Football Report at halftime of college gridiron broadcasts for the Tiffany Network (he succeeded Jim Nantz, who had done four seasons there [1985-88]; Nantz then became a PBP man on college gridiron games)...
A MAJOR loss for sports broadcasting. Greg was a pro at what he did. He was to CBS what Bob Costas was to NBC, in regards to the Olympics. And way too many NFL moments to count.
Greg, you will be forever missed. And major condolences to Bryant and his family, plus his CBS colleagues, during this time of grief. RIP, Greg

CBS Sports tribute to Greg Gumbel narrated by colleague JB that aired during halftime of the first game of the HBCU college basketball doubleheader today & likely to be shown again tomorrow on The NFL Today.
Here is a game show pilot Greg Gumbel did called "The $64,000 Question." According to the Aircheck date Wink Martindale has on this episode it was made in the year 2000. But at that time Greed and Who Wants to be a Millionaire were some of the shows that was on the air by that time. This show was killed off due to Greg Gumbel's role at CBS Sports at that time and two other shows like the success of Greed By Chuck Woolery and Regis Philbin's Who Wants to be a Millionaire in the TV ratings basically killed off the chances of this show even becoming successful.
