Regis Philbin Did It All, Including Help Launch FS1: TRAINA THOUGHTS

Obviously, the two jobs at the top of Philbin's résumé were hosting his long-running daytime TV show with Katie Lee Gifford and Kelly Ripa and hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

I'm not sure everyone remembers what a phenomenon Millionaire was, but it gripped the country in a way few television programs ever have, and Regis was the perfect host for it.
