Why Regis is Perfect for WWTBAM
Ever Since Regis Philbin has stepped in front of the camera 36 years ago, he has been a natural at television. He has carried
that over to Millionaire, creating suspense and drama, and being very kind and friendly to the contestant. Regis gets the
contestant revved up and ready to go, and is extremely encouraging. He feels bad for you when you miss, and is happy for you
when you win. Overall, Regis is an excellent host for WWTBAM, and I hope to see him many more shows to come.
Don't Forget to Watch "Live with Regis and Kelly," Regis' Morning Show, on Weekdays at 9 am, Eastern Time.
