I know this has already been posted in some groups. I was shocked to hear of this. I guess because I had never heard of medical problems. And so he died of natural causes and that is good. I used to watch him on Live with Kathy and Reg and ten Kelly and Reg and Millionaire .

One of the greats in the history of television, Regis Philbin has passed on to even greater airwaves, at 88. He was a fantastic person, and my friend. He kept telling me to run for President. Holds the record for "most live television", and he did it well. Regis, we love you....
