Regis Philbin is retiring from his talk show after nearly 25 years.
The 79-year-old host made the big announcement this morning on Live with Regis and Kelly.
No exact end date has been specified, but Regis plans to leave the show sometime in late summer. “I don’t want to alarm anybody, but this will be my last year on the show,” he said on Tuesday’s episode. “There is a time that everything must come to an end.”
Regis – you will be missed and are hard to replace. No word yet on who will take the seat next to Kelly Ripa. I nominate Ryan Seacrest!
