Greenwich, CT -- At age 88, Regis Philbin
has had one of the most successful and long-lived careers as a
game-and-talk-show host who, after graduating from his beloved University of
Notre Dame and a stint in the Navy, began his television career as an announcer
on The Tonight Show, a talk-show
in San Diego and in 1967 as Joey Bishop’s sidekick on The Joey Bishop Show.
According to TopTenRealEstateDeals.com, Regis worked nonstop from coast to coast including Los Angeles, St Louis and New York as America’s favorite conversationalist until he retired from Live! With Regis and Kelly in 2011.
He has
resided on the East Coast for decades close to the New York television studios,
but has recently put his Connecticut home on the market so that he and wife,
Joy, can move to California to be closer to their children.
