Requiescat in pace
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
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.
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.
Married twice, divorced once, 4 grown children. He had several heart surgeries later in life, along with total hip replacement surgery.
He was 5'7. He was also an author and a singer (crooner-type) who cut several mediocre albums.
He publicly evinced a liking for President Trump since Trump's election.
His net worth as of 2020 is an estimated $160 million (source: Forbes)

One of the greats in the history of television, Regis Philbin has passed on to even greater airwaves, at 88. He was a fantastic person, and my friend. He kept telling me to run for President. Holds the record for “most live television”, and he did it well. Regis, we love you....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2020
....And to Joy, his wonderful wife who he loved so much, my warmest condolences!!!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 25, 2020
Requiem en pace, Regis Francis Xavier.
Such a lovely, good-humored Irish-American gentleman. I used to love it when, back in the days when Dave Letterman was still funny, Regis would barge into the back of the audience and exchange a few quips with Dave in his inimitable vocal delivery, and rush out again—such energy!
He gave a lot of enjoyment for a lot of years—none of it the boring pseudo-political pretensions of so many of the jerks in media today. I imagine his wife Joy, his daughters, and his co-hosts Kathy Lee Gifford and Kelly Ripa must be quite devastated.
RIP, sweet-tempered leprechaun who made us laugh.
