THE CARE FNB FAMILY WHO WENT ON
TO REVOLUTIONIZE THE MORNING
TALK SHOW FORMAT. THE LOVED TV
HOST REGIS PHILBIN HAS PASSED
AWAY AT THE AGE OF 88 AND WE
ARE HEARING FROM THOSE WHO HAD
THE PRIVILEGE TO WORK WITH HIM
.SO JOINING US NOW JACKIE
JORDAN, A FRIEND OF REGIS. YOU
WORKED WITH HIM AS A CONSULTANT
ON THE TALK SHOW CIRCUIT. SO
GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE. GOOD
MORNING, JACKIE. HI. THANK YOU
SO MUCH. ERIC IN THAT CAN YOU
BELIEVE THE LEGENDARY REGIS
PHILBIN STARTED IN YOUR SEATS?
I KNOW BUT TO HEAR THAT MAYBE
AGAIN. I MEAN THE FORMER KEY
FMV HERE HE WORKED HERE AS A
HOST. WE'VE BEEN ENJOYING
SEEING SOME OF THE OLD PICTURES
OF HIM HERE. AND BOY, HE WENT
JUST INCREDIBLE CAREER. HE HAD
TO THE YOUNGER GENERATION I'D
SAY THAT HE'S THE HE. HE WAS
HE'S THE RYAN SEACREST. AND
WHEN THEY WERE IN SCHOOL OF
COURSE WHEN GREAT LIVE WITH
REGIS AND KATHIE LEE AND THEN
LATER LIVE WITH KELLY WAS ON
THE AIR DURING DAYTIME. BUT
HE'S CALLS THE RECORD
THE WORLD'S RECORDS FOR
THE LONGEST TIME ON TELEVISION
FOR A LIVE HOURS. IF ANYBODY
CAN EVEN IMAGINE THAT HE'S LIKE
NINETEEN THOUSAND SOMETHING
LIKE THAT HOURS. BUT HE HE HAS
BEEN WITH ALMOST 40 YEAR CAREER
AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S SO AMAZING
ABOUT REGIS IS THAT YOU KNOW,
IN 2020 WHERE THIS IS THE YEAR
THAT WE'RE LEARNING THAT YOU
KNOW, NOT EVERYBODY NOT
EVERYTHING IS WHAT YOU GET. WE
JUST REALLY WAS ONE OF THOSE
PEOPLE WHO IS AUTHENTIC AND
WELL, AS YOU KNOW, THE PERSON
YOU SAW ON THE AIR IS
THE PERSON THAT HE AND MANY OF
MY COLLEAGUES HAD THE PRIVILEGE
OF WORKING WITH HIM CLOSER THAN
EVEN I DID REALLY? YOU HAVE
PROFOUND AFFECTION AND REALLY
GREAT RESPECT FOR THE MAN THAT
HE WAS. BIG PERSONALITY REALLY
WHICH WAS HIS IS ONE LINERS AND
AS YOU BOTH KNOW, ERIC AND THAT
IT IS NOT EASY TO DO THE LIVE
TELEVISION DAY IN DAY OUT EVERY
SUNDAY. OH NO. HE HAD SO MUCH
ENERGY AND WARMTH TO HIM. BUT
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR
RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. WHEN WAS
THE FIRST TIME YOU MET HIM? HOW
DID YOU WORK TOGETHER? I YOU
KNOW, I KNOW HIM THROUGH
THE THROUGH THE CIRCUIT. SO IT
WAS A WHOLE GROUP OF US IS A
PRETTY TIGHT KNIT GROUP OF US
IN THE TALK SHOW COMMUNITY WHO
WORKS CLOSER WITH HIM. THEN OF
COURSE THAT I DID. BUT WE KNOW
I KNOW HIM THROUGH THE EVENTS
THE YOU KNOW, THE EMMYS
COMMITTEES AND ALL OF
THE EVENTS THAT WE DID I WAS IN
NEW YORK CITY TALK SHOW
PRODUCER IN THE 90S DURING
DURING A LOT OF A BIG PART OF
HIS HEYDAY. YOU SEE YOU TALKED
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW HE WAS
JUST WHO HE WAS ON TV, YOU
KNOW. SO TELL US A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT WHAT HE WAS LIKE. HE WAS
HE WAS REALLY GREAT. HIS YOU
KNOW, SENSE OF HUMOR, HIS QUIPS
,ANYBODY HE MET HIM EVEN HE
MADE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW HOW
HE KNEW YOU. YOU WERE AND IT
ENDEARED FRIEND. THERE WASN'T
THERE WAS A DIFFERENT PERSONA
FOR HIM ON AIR THAN THERE WAS
OFF AIR AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE
THAT VERY UNIQUE YOU KNOW, WHEN
THEY'RE ON AIR THEY'RE
LITERALLY ON AND WHEN THEY'RE
OFF AIR THEY'RE VERY OFF. BUT
YOU KNOW, REGIS REALLY CARRIED
THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. HE
OFTEN CO HOSTED WITH HIS WIFE
JOY. HE'S GOT A LOVELY, LOVELY,
LOVELY FAMILY. AND WE WISH THEM
THE BEST AT THIS TIME. YEAH, OF
COURSE THEY WERE SO
HEARTBREAKING TO HEAR THE NEWS
AND THEN I THINK FOR A LOT OF
PEOPLE THEY DIDN'T REALIZE HIS
CONNECTION TO OUR STATION CAN'T
BE HERE IN SAN DIEGO. AND HE
REALLY ROSE TO THESE NATIONAL
RANKS VERY QUICKLY IN HIS
CAREER RIGHT WHEN HE FIRST
STARTED. AND I MEAN IT'S A
NATURAL THING FOR THEM TO, YOU
KNOW, DRAW VIEWERS IN AT ANY
LEVEL. IT'S YOU KNOW, ALMOST IS
ALMOST 40 YEARS ON TELEVISION
STARTING THAT A SIDEKICK TO
THE JOEY BISHOP. BUT YOU KNOW,
THE YOUNGER GENERATION OF
COURSE KNOWS WHO'S FROM WHOSE
LINE IS IT ANYWAY? YOU KNOW,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CALL YOUR
LIFELINE RIGHT NOW? AND BUT YOU
KNOW, WE KNOW HIM OF COURSE
FROM YOU KNOW, DAYTIME
TELEVISION OR WHEREVER AND ALSO
PREVIOUSLY WITH THE GAME SHOWS.
YEAH, IT'S DEFINITELY A
DEFINITELY IT'S A PASSING OF A
REAL LEGEND, SOMEONE WHO KNEW
DAYTIME TALK SHOWS. WHAT WOULD
YOU WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER
ABOUT REGIS? A LOT OF OUR
VIEWERS WHO HAVE GROWN UP
WATCHING HIM WHETHER IT'S, YOU
KNOW, THE MILLIONAIRE SHOW OR
MORNING TALK SHOWS. I MEAN HE
WAS ALL IT WAS ALL OVER OUR TV
SCREENS. I MEAN WHAT WHAT DO
YOU WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER
ABOUT REGIS EVEN THOUGH HE WAS
A REAL FRIENDLY, FRIENDLY FACE
?HE ALSO, YOU KNOW, REMINDS ME
ALMOST OF RADA THAT YOU KNOW,
THE MR. ROGERS KIND OF YOU
KNOW, ENERGY. HE WAS JUST, YOU
KNOW, VERY FRIENDLY REAL QUICK
,EASY GOING AND BUT REALLY
WORKED HARD. YOU KNOW, I DON'T
THINK THERE WAS A YOU KNOW,
THEY SAY RYAN SEACREST WORKS
REALLY HARD LIKE REGIS PHILBIN
REALLY, REALLY WORKED HARD. HE
WAS TRAVELING BACK AND FORTH
FROM NEW YORK TO L.A. DOING HIS
DAYTIME SHOW. RIGHT. I MEAN
RIGHT UP TILL ABOUT A DECADE
AGO. SO HE YOU KNOW, HE
DEFINITELY WAS A REALLY, REALLY
GREAT PERSON. LOOK, WE'RE

UNTIL 2011. I MEAN HE'S I JUST
