Regis Philbin has announced he is retiring from his hit tv morning show "Regis And Kelly". He's been hosting that show for almost 25 years.

This is sad news. Regis is the true heart and soul of that show, and personally, I can't see it surviving very long without him. I love Kelly, but Regis just "is" that show.
No mention of yet as to who they will get to replace Regis. My guess is that they may try several replacement hosts for a few weeks to see who will have better chemistry with Kelly, etc., like they did when Regis first co-host, Kathy Lee Gifford, left the show about ten years ago, when Kelly tried out as host and won the spot.
I just can't see Regis retiring though. Anyone can look at the article and see what a long history of show business he has had in the entertainment field. Regis has always seemed like one of those people who are not happy unless they are working. I do hope nothing is seriously wrong with his health or anything like that. Who knows, maybe he has another job in the works. I hope so, and wish him well whatever he does in the future.
Anyone here ever watch the "Live with Regis & Kelly Show"?
