Regis Philbin Tickets

Regis Francis Xavier Philbin (born August 25, 1931 in New York, New York) is an American television personality and comedian, best known for his responsibilities as a talk show host, game show host, and presenter in general. Appearing on television since at least the 1960s and confirmed by his Guinness World Record for Most Hours on Camera, he is consistently called (somewhat tongue-in-cheek) "the hardest working man in show business." His work has almost exclusively been in American television. His trademarks are his excited manner, his New York Accent, and making ad-libbed jokes such as calling a female group as "guys". He is most widely known for either Live with Regis and Kelly, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire or his most recent show, host of America's Got Talent.

Philbin is widely referred to by his first name, which means "king" (a nickname of his). His other nicknames include Reege (spelling variants Rege or Reeg), Big Daddy,[1] Big Man, and #1;[2] the latter three popularized by his Live with Regis and Kelly co-host Kelly Ripa.
