Katie Couric claims former ‘Today’ co-anchor Bryant Gumbel had ‘sexist attitude’ about her maternity leave

Katie Couric claimed her former “Today” show co-anchor Bryant Gumbel had an “incredibly sexist attitude” about her maternity leave.

“He got mad at me because I was doing something on maternity leave,” she recalled on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast Sunday. “And he was giving me endless s–t for taking like a month or two off. I was having my first baby.”

Couric, 67, alleged that Gumbel, 75, asked why she couldn’t “just drop it in the field and come back to work right away.”

Maher, 68, told the mom of two that it sounded like the “Real Sports” alum was joking.

“No, he was kidding,” Couric said. “He was goofing on me but giving me a lot of s–t but it was emblematic of an incredibly sexist attitude.”

Page Six has reached out to a rep for Gumbel but did not immediately hear back.

Though Couric seemed to take issue with some of Gumbel’s comments, she raved over how great of a “talent” he was on the show.

“He is a guy’s guy. He is a guy’s guy, you got that right. He is. He was prickly but I mean, what a talent. He’s such a seamless broadcaster, eloquent,” she said.

“When that countdown would happen, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, he would just hit it perfect.”

Gumbel began working at “Today” in 1982 and Couric joined him in 1991. The journalists co-anchored together until the dad of two left the show in 1997.

Couric shares daughters Elinor (Ellie), 32, and Caroline (Carrie), 28, with her late ex-husband, Jay Monahan, who died in January 1998 from colon cancer.

The “Blue Ribbon Day” author then wed John Molner in June 2014.

Last month, Couric became a grandma after her daughter Ellie gave birth to a baby boy named John Albert Dobrosky.

“I am thrilled to have my first grandchild, Carrie can’t wait to be a cool Aunt and Molner is enjoying handing out cigars,” she wrote on Instagram at the time alongside snaps of the newborn with his relatives.

“We feel so blessed. 💙🥰🍼👶🏻💙.”
