Bryant Gumbel‘s back on his feet … walking through New York City with his wife after an ambulance rushed him to the hospital earlier this week.

The former “Today” cohost bundled up in a black bomber jacket … keeping a low profile in a New York Yankees cap and pair of dark shades while his wife, Hilary, held tightly to his arm.

Bryant lifted his face to the sky in one photo … drinking in the sunlight after several days in the hospital — and, he looked relatviely normal, if a bit tired.

We broke the story … Gumbel was taken to the hospital from his Manhattan apartment by ambulance after experiencing some kind of medical incident earlier this week.

Gumbel was still in the hospital Tuesday … and while a family member told us he was doing well they wouldn’t elaborate on his condition beyond that. Greg Gumbel — Bryant’s older brother — passed away last year at the age of 78.
