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.
I remember his show in St. Louis and, at that time, I thought he was just a local personality.
RIP.
