I liked him although I’m sure he was a flaming Leftist.

Some flaming Leftists are still nice guys.

He was such a supporter of the coffee table book.

RIP Regis

I did not know his politics. That is a good thing.

Not sure of his politics but he was a chummy with Trump. Cute snippet here with Regis and Dana Carvey doing his Trump impression: https://youtu.be/CUyXiX37dCY

Oh how I miss the SNL days of this level of talent and good naturedness.

I once had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Philbin. I worked for a Cable TV magazine when I lived in New York. During the interview I asked him what he thought his allure was with middle aged women. I told him that there was a woman in our accounting office who loved him and had his head shots up in her cubicle. We laughed. After the interview, he invited me to come to a taping of the show. He told me to bring this woman along. Of course, she was thrilled. About two weeks later we went to the show. He greeted us at the studio and remembered this woman’s name and gave her flowers. It was such a kind gesture that I am sure she remembered the rest of her life. RIP Regis. A true gentleman.

I pray for him. I fear that being Catholic, it was all about sacraments and rituals and works. Not about total faith in the Finished Work of the Cross of Jesus Christ. He is no longer on the Cross as they have all over their church, and all those idols hanging around and Mary love thinking she is co-with the Christ. Sorry, no. But, hope he was saved as Ephesians 2: 8 and 9 so clearly state. “For it is by GRACE . . . that we are saved . . . not of WORKS. It is a GIFT of GOD!!”

You DO REALIZE that the CATHOLIC CHURCH were the FIRST CHRISTIANS....although you probably won’t admit it.

No they were not! The Jews were the first Christians. Not the Catholics. You follow what you might. I will follow the Bible. I don’t worship Mary. I don’t pray to her. THAT friend is wrong! Take it or leave it. Do so at your own peril. I’m done here.

I don’t think I ever heard any politics mention by him. So if anything he was a professional if he was a Democrat. My first exposure to him was as a kid growing up in St. Louis he did a weekly show. The one thing you can say about Regis is he was definitely a hard-working showman.

During the early 1970s, Philbin also commuted each weekend to St. Louis, where he filmed Regis Philbin’s Saturday Night in St. Louis[25] on KMOX-TV (now KMOV).
