Katie Couric says Today co-host Bryant Gumbel gave her endless shit about going on maternity leave back in the early 90s.

The veteran newscaster remembered Gumble being a bit prickly when they worked together, telling Bill Maher, He got mad at me because I was doing something on maternity leave.

He was giving me endless shit for taking like a month or two off, Couric said while appearing on Mahers Club Random podcast . I was having my first baby.

Yeah, I could see that, said Maher, who earlier in the interview revealed hed heard Gumbel could be a tough nut to crack.

He was like, Why dont you just drop it in the field and come back to work right away or something? Couric said, prompting Maher to add that Gumbel was clearly joking.
