In the last year we have either said or are going to say goodbye to Larry King, Oprah Winfrey and Mary Hart, and today we need to add another name to that list and it is Regis Philbin. The 79 year old host announced on Live with Regis and Kelly that this would be his last year on the show.
This really saddens me because he is the last of the TV talk show greats still on the tube. That means the hosts that who will now have been around for the longest are David Letterman and Jay Leno and in my opinion neither host is someone for the future generation to look up to be. One f*cked his replacement and the other reportedly f*cked his interns.
When it comes to who will replace him, I am sure Kelly Ripa will fight for husband Mark Consuelos. I also think that Ryan Seacrest is vying for the job because that is what he does. I love watching Jimmy Kimmel every night, but I think he was great when he filled in. But then again if Anderson Cooper’s new daytime talk show is no longer a go, he could take the job. So who do you think should be the next Regis?
