The hangouts with the Reeg in the Millionaire hot seat is over. We are saddened to notice that the legendary Regis Philbin who brought ITV1's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? into USA America fame has sadly died due to natural causes at the age of 89 years old.
Througout his 75-year run in the entertainment show business, Philbin has been responsible for some of the biggest properties in modern day, including his run as host of Live! with Kelly Ripa from 1983-2011, filling in for Dick Clark for his New Years Rocking Eve 2005 due to Clark having a stroke, the USA version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? from 1999-2002 before passing the torch to Meredith Viera and JImmy Kimmel, returning for a Super Millionaire$10,000,000 dollars jackpot version and a USA version 10th Anniversary special in 2004 and 2009 respectively and of course spreading holiday cheer at the annual DIsney Parks Christmas Day Parade from the man on the street reports to the podiums at the from desk from 1984-2008, all of which have aired on ABC.
Our hearts go out to his wife Joy and his entire family during this tough time. We want to say our gracious thanks and support to one man who would later grow up to host a morning talk show, phone a friends and become an icon in the world of television and entertainment history.
Thank you Regis for all your years of entertainment. you will be sadly missed.
RIP Regis Philbin
August 25, 1931-July 24, 2020
