Updating this news on Regis, etc.
There are some stories out now that Regis may have quit the "Live" show because they wanted him to take a pay cut in salary:
http://content.usatoday.com/communities ... cut-buzz/1IMHO, The thing you have to keep in mind about this is that Regis is really the one that has made this show what it is today...he's been with the show 25 years...and helped make the show as successfull as it is today (which it probably wouldn't be so successful without him) and with that in mind, I don't think he should have been asked to take a pay cut. I also don't think it's unreasonable of him to refuse one, if that is indeed what happened. Regis may have unknown amount of opportunities to do other things if he is free from "Live", and possibly more chances to make more than he is even making now.
Also, another thing to remember here, If I recall correctly, ABC is owned by Disney. ABC has been making alot of cut backs, etc., in their Soap Opera programs and other things. In that regard, it's not surprising that they would ask others to take salary cuts also. Also not surprising that someone would turn them down.
Ah well, we'll see how it all goes.
