First time I knew Regis was in the late 60's Joey Bishop had a late night talk on ABC opposite Johnny Carson and Regis was his sidekick announcer. Joey was one of the Frank Sinatra's Rat Pack for those who don't know. I use to watch it sometimes, didn't pay much attention to Regis. Then I visited my parents when they retired in the 80's and every morning they had on the Regis and Kathy Lee show.
When I retired in 2005 we started watching Regis & Kathy Lee every morning, I guess we become our parents. After he left the show, I never watched it again. I even watched Regis when he did Who Wants to be a Millionaire. He was a likable guy and his wife Joy would fill in for Kathy Lee sometimes and I could never believe how old she really was, she was born in 1941, he did good. |

Everyone has the right to decide what they do with their life. That's not the problem. It's the timing of his decision that bothers me. All i care about is that he made his decision right before the season started instead of before free agency started. |

I know Regis was big on daytime TV, and had a huge hit with WWtbaM, but I never really got into either. And his showbiz career pre-WWtbaM and Live! w/ Regis& is a tad older than me.
Seems like a nice guy, but I think I've seen more of Dana Carvey impression of Regis than Regis himself. EDIT - MoF, if I am recalling back that far correctly. I had to find out who Regis was after the first time I saw Dana do him on SNL. RIP to a solid dude.

I liked what I saw of him in the late 80s, early 90s, but didn't see much because it was on so late.
Mostly I saw Letterman, before he moved to 10:30, on those annual prime-time specials, or 'best of' tapes. Conan was about the first [and still nearly only, unless you count now where everything is on demand] time I caught any 'late late' programming. Had a buddy in JHS/HS that raved about him, but I didn't have a TV. He liked him so much I think [IIRC] he even tried to pull off that suit with tennis shoes look at school

I think from 1982 until Letterman retired I have probably seen more Letterman shows than anyone. The very first in February '82 I caught by accident, I flew into Dallas to pick up my car and drive it back to Georgia (long story), when got there my former B-I-L flipped on TV and it was Bill Murray doing "Let's Get Physical" on the Letterman Show. I was hooked, and even though he was a liberal it was the best show ever. Chris Elliott, what more can I say.

That's when he was at his best though, so much was lost when he made the transition to CBS. |

What's funny now is, when you see an old one from NBC and Leno was a guest. Hard to believe they were friends, and Leno was actually funny then. |
