Regis Philbin's Last Day

Friday November 18, 2011 Posted 6 months ago by Storm Avery

As you probably know, today is REGIS PHILBIN'S last day on "Live".  And while he's not sure exactly how he feels about walking away, he does agree it's time.

In an interview with E! News, he says, "I feel pretty good, I'm not saying I'm gonna feel as good on Monday down there in Miami, but right now . . .

"I wasn't looking forward to this moment . . . you never are in your life . . . especially when you're leaving a success that you worked your tail off to make, and it's here.  And why not hang around and enjoy it?  But I have and it's time really to move on…"

 

As for who's going to replace him as KELLY RIPA'S co-host, Regis says he's not getting involved . . . "Frankly I'd like to stay out of it . . . I don't wanna disappoint other people who are looking for the job."

"Kelly is a great little storyteller in her own right.  I tell ya, it's not as easy as it looks, this co-hosting thing.  It just wasn't for me.  So we'll see what happens, I'm interested myself to see who gets it."

 

What's next for Regis?  He said that he would love to host SNL.  But he thinks that they might want someone younger who plays a vampire to host the show.  And he said that he won't do "Dancing with the Stars."  They have asked him several times, but he keeps turning them down.
