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

Very sad..RIP Regis :(
He used up all his lifelines. RIP
Did ‘is job. Good man. Rest in peace.
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.
Sad! RIP
“Is that your final answer?”
RIP Regis
RIP
Requiescat in pace
His wife still does his show hottest lady preacher ever
Staunch conservative, I remember seeing him in the small audience of Rush’s tv show........
He was pretty good on Millionaire.
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 first remember him as the host and announcer of the Joey Bishop show summer of 1967
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.
My daughter just texted this to my wife and said, so sad.
RIB Regis Philbin. Miss the days when TV personalities were kind.
