R.I.P. He wanted to keep doing “Millionaire” but they went another route doing a 30 minute version. So he did a couple of times a different game show on CBS. I think it was Celebrity Password and America’s Got Talent a few years later replaced by Springer. He also retired from his morning show in 2011 but then was on a sports show on FS1 that ended after he quit the program. Guy had the most hours on American Television.

Maybe in recent years, but back in the '70s and '80s no one spent more time on the screen than Dr. Gene Scott.

They don’t make classy hosts like this anymore, it seems...someone just interested in being a good host to people of all walks of life and beliefs to be unifying in settings where things that can divide don’t apply. Now the Left pollutes everything with their politics and social agenda.

The prime time show as ended - though they would still return occasionally with specials that he would host.

I think he prove throughout his career he was the hardest working man in television. The guy was like the ever ready bunny. He kept going and going and going. Rest in peace Regis.

As a young kid in the 70s. My first exposure to him was doing a local TV show. Which is on his bio.
During the early 1970s, Philbin also commuted each weekend to St. Louis, where he filmed Regis Philbin’s Saturday Night in St. Louis on KMOX-TV.
