I know this thread is not about the merits or (lack of) Bryant Gumbel's ability to speak for "us" but I must agree with SoTrue about Bryant being harshly judged sometimes. Not only does Bryant raise money for UNCF every year, but he frequently says that one of his proudest moments in TV was when the Today show went to Africa and broadcast live. Bryant had to really fight for this. The Today show was the first major network to broadcast live from Africa and it was primarily Bryant's doing.
For those of you who don't like Bryant can you share a little about your beef with him?
