Katie Couric is reflecting on her former co-star Bryant Gumbel and their time on The Today Show.
The 67-year-old former anchor made an appearance on Bill Maher‘s Club Random podcast, and addressed his “sexist” attitude. “He got mad at me because I was doing something on maternity leave and he was giving me endless s–t for taking a month or two off,” she revealed. “I was having my first baby, and he was like, ‘Why don’t you just drop it in the field and come back?’ or something like that.
