One of the most popular television and cultural icons ever, Regis Philbin entertained television audiences for more than fifty years-as a beloved morning-show host ( Live with Regis and Kelly), a nighttime game-show host ( Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) and also as a fixture on national and local late-night talk shows.
