Regis Philbin is Leaving 'Live With Regis and Kelly'

This has zero effect on my life, but the fact is Regis Philbin has been doing Live for 28 years.  In the media business that is beyond an eternity, and he absolutely goes down as one of the greatest daytime television personalities in the history of the game.

"It's been a long time, it's been 28 years since I've been here. And it was the biggest thrill of my life," Philbin, who will turn 80 in August, said on the program Tuesday morning.

He added jokingly: "Everything must come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people."
