Regis is alright.

Regis is ok! The co-host of Live With Regis and Kelly called in to the morning show yesterday so his fans could hear that he was doing alright. He said the only problems he is really having is getting used to the pain medication the doctors prescribed. Apparently it makes him do unusual things like sleepwalking and having random embarrassing outbursts. It can't be much worse than the outbursts he has on his show when he is trying to make a point. I am sure everyone is just glad he is ok and waiting for his return to the show.

Rachel gets a nod.

Rachel Ray is cleaning up, She got a Daytime Emmy nod for her morning talk show. She got 7 nominations including best show and best host. Her show has only been around since last fall so it is a huge deal for her to be nominated. She is competing with shows that have been around for years such as "The View" and "Live With Regis and Kelly." It is a huge accomplishment for her, who knew being a goofy chef could lead to an Emmy award, Good Luck!

Regis is Getting Surgery

The host of "Live with Regis and Kelly" is going in for surgery this week. Regis Philbin announced on air this morning that he is going into the hospital later this week for a triple bypass surgery. Philbin is one of the most respected talk show hosts of our time he has interviewed just about every celebrity and sports figure around. He has hosted the "Live" show for almost 20 years and was initially joined by Kathie Lee Gifford. In 2001 Kelly Ripa joined him as the new co-host. Regis Philbin also hosted the popular game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." He will be missed on air and I am sure every ones thoughts and prayers will be with him while he is in surgery.

Springer replaces Philbin

Regis Philbin gets replaced. The former host of the NBC show "America's Got Talent" is being replaced by Jerry Springer. Philbin said he decided not to host the second season of the show due to the heavy traveling schedule, it is very difficult for him to tape "Live With Regis and Kelly" which is taped in New York, and "America's Got Talent" which is filmed in Los Angeles. Jerry Springer decided to do the show when he was approached by NBC' Craig Plestis. Springer said he has had a lot of the contestants on his talk show and said he would feel right at home playing host. The second season is set to air this summer on NBC.
