Overview

Regis Philbin enters millions of Americans' homes each morning, exchanging laughs with Kathie Lee, commenting on the news, and interviewing their guests. Now, in his long-awaited first book, Regis reveals who he really is and what he cares most about - relating the amazing and entertaining events of the past year and showing us his real life, off-camera, as it's never been seen before. Travel with Regis across time and behind the scenes for unforgettable encounters with such celebrities as Johnny Carson, Robert DeNiro, Dean Martin, Perry Como, Jack Paar, Joan Lunden, Bill Cosby, Steven Spielberg, and many more. He takes us back to his boyhood stomping grounds in the south Bronx for a wild nostalgic tour; and back to Notre Dame, where he passionately relives his college adventures and provides Fighting Irish head coach Lou Holtz with feverish support and unsolicited strategy. He shares moments of heartbreak, family and career crises, and even his terrifying brush with death. (Not to mention a soon-to-be-legendary comic bout with the dreaded abdominal "grippers."). Then, once and for all, Regis answers the question that follows him everywhere ("Where's Kathie Lee?") and unleashes a string of anecdotes about his co-host that will surprise and delight fans of the show.

Regis Philbin, one of America's brightest morning stars and a top TV personality, tells the fascinating stories of his life and career, including his stint as Joey Bishop's sidekick, his home life with his wife Joy, his relationship with Kathie Lee Gifford, and more. 24 pages of photos.

About the Author, Regis Philbin, Bill Zehme

Regis Philbin

Though best known as the jovial but lovably sarcastic host of the American talk show sensation Live with Regis and Kelly (and its earlier incarnation, Live With Regis and Kathie Lee), television personality Regis Philbin has sustained an astonishingly varied career that bridges not only a myriad of broadcast formats -- from daytime and late-night talk to game shows to televised parades and news magazines -- but multiple mediums as well, including books, feature films, and even musical recordings that found Philbin crooning along to old standards.
