Why Greg Gumbel was replaced by Ernie Johnson for CBS’s March Madness studio coverage in 2024

Here’s why Greg Gumbel isn’t on CBS for the 2024 March Madness coverage.

March Madness 2024 is officially here, as the men’s NCAA tournament gets underway with 64 teams trying to win a national title.

But a familiar face won’t be there to host in the studio for CBS.

Greg Gumbel has been a staple on CBS’s coverage of all things March Madness over the years, but he’ll be replaced by Ernie Johnson. Why is that? Per The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch: “Greg Gumbel won’t be working the tournament this year as he deals with family health issues.”

The broadcast crew sent him love during the network’s Selection Sunday show.

There you have it. He’ll be missed and hope everything is OK.

Greg Gumbel’s reaction to his CBS colleagues’ March Madness dancing is priceless

LOL.

You’ve seen the breakdancing robots on CBS’s March Madness broadcasts and how both bad and adorable they are.

But have you seen CBS’s Clark Kellogg, Seth Davis and Wally Szczerbiak dancing with the breakdancing robots?

Well, now you can. This is one way to have some fun during the long hours of broadcasting during the men’s NCAA tournament.

But the best part was Greg Gumbel, whose face when the camera cut to him was just priceless, and if his dead serious expression doesn’t become a meme throughout the rest of March Madness, I’ll be positively shocked.

Here’s the clip and a separate one of Gumbel reacting:

 

So good.
