Regis, 80, Signs Off After 28 Years

Regis Philbin is getting emotional. But then, so is his loyal, long-watching TV audience. Today marked Reeg's finale as the self-referential coffee-klatsch mainstay on Live With Regis and Kelly as he signed off at the undeniably amazing age of 80 after 28 years as the lead host. Fittingly retrospective, touching and funny, the hourlong swansong included not only Philbin's current cohost, Kelly Ripa, but a walk down memory lane with a veritable all-star audience/Gina Serpe, E! Online. More here.

Question: Who should replace Regis Philbin?
