Regis Philbin, beloved TV host of 'Regis and Kathie Lee' and 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire,' dies at 88.
, a household name during his ever-present, six-decade career on the small screen, died Friday of natural causes. He was 88.
His family and friends will be"forever grateful" for the time they had with Philbin, who was born in the Bronx on Aug. 25, 1931. Over his career, Philbin became a ubiquitous presence on television, spending decades in daytime talk highlighted by more than 20 years on the morning show with Gifford and then Kelly Ripa . Philbin made his last appearance on the show, now known as “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” in November 2011.
Gifford told USA TODAY in 2019 that she hesitated to join the “Today” show in 2008 because she feared her best TV years were captured on"Regis and Kathie Lee." The"Millionaire" audience responded to Philbin’s warm, comic touch and the quick connection he made with contestants. He later jokingly referred to himself as the man who saved ABC. It wasn’t complete hyperbole: ABC was suffering in the ratings before the game became a smash success.
Philbin was so prevalent on the small screen, it led to friendly ridicule from comedians, including David Letterman, who frequently featured Philbin as a guest on his late-night talk shows. Philbin knew that TV terrain, too, having served as second banana to Joey Bishop’s brief stint as an ABC late-night host in the 1960s.
