A Bronx native, Guzmán was a proud graduate of the Bronx High School of Science and later pursued his education at the State University of New York at Old Westbury.

Beyond his television work, he showcased his writing skills through contributions to notable publications such as the Village Voice, Billboard, Rolling Stone and the New York Daily News.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Guzmán "was a son of the Bronx who spoke truth to power and held leaders to account."

"Our city is a better place because of the work he did and he will be truly missed," Adams posted on X, formerly Twitter.

Guzmán is survived by his wife, Debbie, children Angela and Daniel, and his mother, Sally.
