Soledad O’Brien is joining fellow “Today” show alum Bryant Gumbel at HBO’s “Real Sports.”
HBO says that O’Brien will be a reporter on the monthly magazine show, which is anchored by Gumbel. Her first story will be about war veterans using martial arts to help cope with post-traumatic stress disorder.
O’Brien most recently was a morning-show host on CNN, but the network has given the program an overhaul.
O’Brien’s HBO deal also gives the network the first look at other projects done by her production company.
