Anderson Cooper every night dreams about getting my job permanently really.Regis Philbin
I made it a morning show. We have the coffee cup, we have the morning papers. It's got that feel to it, that's what I wanted.Regis Philbin
I'm involved in the stock market, which is fun and, sometimes, very painful.Regis Philbin
I'm moving on. I should have made that clear when I made the announcement. I guess I wasn't clear. If people think you're leaving a show after all these years, you might be retiring. So I understand where they're coming from, but I should have impressed the fact that I hope I'm just moving on right now.Regis Philbin
I've done the best I can with the morning show. I made it a morning show. We have the coffee cup, you have the morning papers, you know, it's got that feel to it, that's what I wanted.Regis Philbin
I've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off, to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks, Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.Regis Philbin
It means a lot in my business and its a wonderful feeling to be recognized for what you have done over a lifetime, but I didn't go crazy. I still eat my cereal in the morning, have a sandwich in the afternoon, go to bed at night. You know, nothing really different.Regis Philbin
