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?

Pee Wee Herman and Regis Philbin showed up arm-to-arm to The Late Show with David Letterman yesterday. I don’t know why the daytime talk show host was dressed like Pee Wee Herman, but you know what the look actually works for him. Maybe they will go on tour together? They could have a competition who has the more annoying high-pitched voice. I am not sure who would win?
Kate Walsh was The Tonight Show yesterday in a dress that was made totally out of Sushi and Sashimi. She told Jay Leno that the fishy dress was a homage to Lady Gaga and to support her charity Oceana.
Before you freak out and think out how can she go out in dress made out of real fish, the Private Practice star Tweeted, “Sushi was fake. :)” Could you imagine how bad the dress would have smelled if it were real, it would smell like (insert annoying slutty paparazzi darling’s name here) crotch.
On that note, who else was creeped out by how Jay Leno was hitting on her by using the dress as a segue.
One of the things that Jimmy Fallon is most known for on his NBC Late Night Show is his Beer Pong games with the celebrity guests. Well yesterday on The Tonight Show, Owen Benjamin played Beer Pong with the stars as they walked the red carpet at the ESPYS. Hey Jay Leno wasn’t it bad enough you stole the show from Conan O’Brien, now you are stealing ideas from Jimmy Fallon. Actually come to think of it, you are also stealing from Jimmy Kimmel Live because drinking on the red carpet with the celebs actually started with Guillermo doing shots of tequila with them as he interviewed them. Owen should watch this clip because little Guillermo can show him how much fun it is when the person doing the interviews gets drunker and drunker with each shot.
Conan O’Brien and his version of The Tonight Show got 4 nominations while Jay Leno got zero. So the late night host joked (?) about being nominationless. I put the (?) because I am not sure if he was really joking or if he was bitter about it. I think it is the latter. And to rub salt in his wound, he had two of the people who did get Emmy noms were on his show to talk about what it is like to actually one or two. I love how Jane Lynch found out she was nominated for both Glee and Two and a half Men. I love love love her on 2.5 when she plays Charlie’s psychiatrist.
