The host of the ‘LIVE! with Regis and Kelly‘, Regis Philbin announced his retirement this morning. This may be shocking and sad for many of his fans, but I think he deserves a retirement after a long, tiring, and successful career. When will he enjoy his riches if he is working all the time? 🙂

Regis Philbin, 79 years, announced this morning that he plans to retire in 2011. He is the ‘mogul’ of the morning shows. He had been working for 28 years on the show. Regis along with his partner Kelly Ripa make the mornings more delightful with their wit and timely humor.

Regis has profound knowledge and wisdom in the TV industry. He lives in New York city with his wife Joy Philbin. He had numerous surgeries in his long career and he in deed deserves a relaxing retirement. His comments and comedy will be missed on the show.

The wealth of information and experience he brings to the show is matchless. Regis tends to forget the names of people and often mis spells the names of the celebrities, but I think we all enjoy even that. His facial expressions and timely humor make the show more lively.

You will be missed Regis. 🙂
