Regis Philbin, seen in 1973, traveled to St. Louis once a month to tape "Regis Philbin's Saturday Night in St. Louis" for KMOX-TV. It now is KMOV (Channel 4).
Regis Philbin was a man of many hats in an illustrious national television career that spanned decades.
But here is an interesting fact. From 1972-75, early in his career, he would fly to St. Louis from Los Angeles once a month to tape several editions of weekend variety shows that aired on KMOX (now KMOV), Channel 4.
Philbin, who recently died at 88, also was a huge sports fan and was tabbed to do commentary on football Cardinals exhibition game telecasts in 1973.
