Kathie Lee Gifford Remembers Regis Philbin: ‘We Never Had One Cross Word’ | TODAY - Розваги
The chemistry between Regis and Kathy Lee was unmatchable.
Totally agree. She's a wonderful, fun, empathetic, humble person I wish were my friend. Nothing pretentious either.
She is underrated as a talent and personality.
Boston Bean he fired her
Stone Hammermen lol I know but i didn’t want to say it. 😉
Stone Hammermen Did he tell you that..
Kathie Lee gave me chills with her genuine tribute to Regis. I hope she, Joy, and the Philbin family find peace.
I WATCHED them as a young woman. Enjoyed the show for a long time. RIP MR. PHILBIN
For real though, that was her homeboy. She's got genuine love for the guy, not all the fake hollywood stuff you see all the time.
Jacob Elyachar she couldn't stand him
Dude. Same. They had magic. But Regis was magical with anyone almost. A true gentleman.
It’s so weird thinking someone like Regis is gone. He was such a light! RIP.
no really he was almost 89.
@@CountrySing he definitely didn't look or act his age though
@@corianne2099 dont matter.
Thank you.
matt 4you so what if he was 89? People like Regis deserve to live forever.
My father served with Regis back when they were both Navy Supply Corp's Officers in the 50's, stayed in touch until my father died in 2002...hope you guys are together again Mr. P, Rest In Peace
Wow!
💙💙
That’s so nice!!
Wow that's awesome
That he knew regis
Thank you to your dad for his Service. I am sure by now they have already reunited in Heaven.
Regis Philbin and Kathie Lee Gifford were genuinely a great team. I miss watching them together. It wasn’t the same since. Best regards to Mrs. Gifford. Thank you, Mr. Philbin for years of memorable entertainment. God Bless them both.
They were so funny together. Their chemistry was very special.
I'm in tears 😭😭😭 Kathie Lee is such a class act and a beautiful friend to her beloved Regis. Very good interview
I agree...😭
This was so sweet, you can tell she really loved him.
And you could tell he really loved her too.
Kathie is such a sweet friend. Regis would love to hear these words she’s speaking about him. ❤️
Isn't she cute today!?
She often spoke very sweet words to him and Joy in interviews, so I'm sure she did whenever she got together with them as well. She was very transparent and spoke from the heart, so I'm sure she has no regrets.
I bet the suits really wanted to cut that interview. She really expresses her dislike for fake and produced and her love of God and being genuine. She is great.
Hollywood needs more Kathie Lee's 💛
That made me cry. I loved Regis and Kathy Lee together! 🙏💔
Hi Barb hope you’re okay?
Kathy Lee was sincere about Regis. Lost a dear friend myself 4 years ago . Miss him a lot. Some people are just special and I feel her lost. Nice tribute.
So sorry to hear about your friend.
❤
I too, lost my sidekick from work. Its funny, these retrospects made it occur to me that we were alot like Regis and Kathy Lee but with rougher edges.....
Kathie Lee...Class Act
Second Hand Sew Regis was a class act too and such a gentleman!Everybody loved Regis!!🙏
Regis seemed like he was fun. Kathie Lee is a great lady.
Kathie Lee & Reege had a CHEMISTRY that was UNdeniable! From the very 1st show ( I was in my 20s) I Watched EVERY day! Didn't matter where i was- I HAD TO start my day w Them! When Reeg finally said Goodbye for his last show-I havent watched the show since. They made Morning TV history!
Yes I agree
Same here!! Loved Kathi and Rege!
I stopped watching after he left the show.
I was first “introduced” to Regis, back in the late 70’s. He was a co-host (with Cyndy Garvey) on a local morning talk show called “AM Los Angeles”. I was a teenager, but I remember how funny he was.
Years later I “found” him again on “Live..”. I became a bigger fan. During the first 15 minutes - when he & Kathie Lee talked about their lives, he sometimes made me laugh until tears rolled down my face.
My prayers go out to his wife, daughters and everyone who was blessed to have him in their lives.
Thank you Regis, for the many years of laughter.
RIP 🙏🙏
Same!
Thank You.
Me too!!! and Cyndy was married to Steve Garvey who was playing 1st base for the Dodgers at the time. I grew up in Pasadena. We were always at Dodger games!! I miss those days!!!
Ruthe I was a huge Dodger fan too. I grew up - mostly - in Norwalk. Do you know where thar is?
Ruthe If my memory isn’t too bad
2nd Base - Davy Lopez
Short Stop - Bill Russell
3rd Base - Ron Cey
Catcher - I think Steve Yeager??
I remember Rick Monday, Dusty Baker,
was there a Reggie Smith too?
- can’t remember which outfield positions
Gosh I miss them on TV so much.RIP Regis
I just wanna grow up to be like Kathie Lee…She is the true representation of Love🙏🏻♥️. I’ll never forget meeting her back in the early 90’s. During the High Point Furniture Market. She gave a private show in the High Point Theatre and my Company sponsored her when she was spokesperson for HAVEN MAGAZINE. SHE was 4 months pregnant with Cody. I spent some time talking with her after the show. I met Joy Philbin in High Point NC at a different time but for the same cause HAVEN as well. What a beautiful person as well. I also met Regis, when he and Susan “Le Lucci” (as Regis called her) came to Raleigh NC when they were doing their concerts together. I was fortunate enough to spend time with each one! They both were Absolutely the nicest people you could ever meet. Susan signed the Erika Kane Barbie Doll that I had bought for my mother! The look on my mothers face as Susan signed that doll for her was....... priceless! Regis even complemented me on my black dress! He said, and you even dressed up for this! 😂... of course I did!
How about kathie lee man what a sweet soul she has. I watched them every morning they were so great together! I love how Kathie loves the Lord she taught me to pray before you even get out of bed I saw her on a interview where she said that....it changed the way I pray
I always wanted her to be my mom
God bless his family I will miss him. God lovehim more.Mrs.Epm
Yes
True Friendship is seen in Her Heart!
Hi Vicki hope you’re okay?
God bless you, KLG and peace to Joy and his children.
I am so sad...I loved Regis and Kathie Lee together.....
Hi Anne hope you’re okay?
Loved Regis. He lifted up everyone around him. RIP and thanks for the memories.❤️
Regis and Kathie Lee have always been my very favorite. RIP Regis!💙💙
Hi Dixye hope you’re okay?
She was a REAL and genuine friend of Regis and his family....very different from his relationship with Kelly Ripa!
They’re both nice people- chill - this isn’t about you
I agree. Kelly Ripa is fake. And it shows.
This real friendship. Kelly Rippa was just a co host, nothing beyond the camera.
I don't think He & Kelly had any relationship. We all know how Michael & Kelly went. I think they kept the wrong person.
@Andrea Puri
Hey...I know and I remember that tantrum Kelly had...just like a spoiled little brat!
What a beautiful memory chat!! Love Regis and Kathie Lee!!! What a blessed friendship! 👼
She is right....the "suits" don't always know what's best as far as what the audience wants. She and Reg had a chemistry together... played off each other perfectly. Sounds like she has a lot of "houses" around the country. She is blessed with a lot of opulence and deserves it. RIP Regis... it was quite a ride.
Kathie Lee and her words are so beautiful--especially about death and life. Just another reason to love her.
absolutely!
Beautiful true Christian lady .
Regis is right there with Bob Barker and Betty White. Legends are LOVED, RESPECTED AND ADORED. They are true TV LEGENDS.
You can tell Kathie Lee is heartbroken over the loss of her dear friend and colleague by the way she spoke about her last encounter with Regis. I did not grow up watching her when she was on Live but when she was co hosting with Hoda she would talk about him enough i was able to understand what kind of bond those two had. Was so kind of her to reach out to his widow and children just to spend some time with them
I loved watching the show with Regis and Kathy Lee.. they were so funny and good together.. God bless Kathy.. and Joy, and the family ❤️🙏❤️🙏
Kathie Lee, the spirit of God living within you is so obvious, you are a blessing, as was Regis! There will never be another show with chemistry like that. RIP Regis....we sure loved you:)
Kathie Lee looks great! I love her with the wavy hair. RIP Regis! I used to watch both of them every morning.
They were authentic. It’s why tears are falling down my face. Diamonds in the rough, both of them. ❤️
A once in a lifetime special friendship ....Treasure those you love while they are still here...God blesses us with the gifts of placing certain people in our lives for many reasons
Good point. If we "let go and let God" there is more truth to that idiom than we realize....it is scriptural if you read the Old Testament.....God wants to be active in our lives and WILL if we make room for Him and Pay Attention. Don't forget that "staying in his good graces" is key.
Thank you Kathie Lee Gifford for sharing these memories of Regis. Philbin. It is touching to realize how some people are blessed with such special relationships. The feelings you are going through come across as you speak, and I wish you peace as you process this.
Very fitting tribute to Regis by Kathie Lee. He will be missed! Thanks for posting!
Hi Loree hope you’re okay?
I grew up watching these two legendary angels I appreciate everything that they’ve accomplished during their time together 👏🏾👏🏾
RIP. My prayers are for Regis and his family.
RIP This interview was priceless!
So many great memories from Regis and Kathy Lee... R.I.P. Regis 😭😭😭
Hi Pretty hope you’re okay?
I was a stay at home mom and watching Regis and Kathy kept me sane!! Really enjoyed those years they were together and when Joy would fill in for Kathy and watching the husband and wife duo was great too...It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since she left the show. Prayers to his family and friends!! 💕😎
Hi Michelle hope you’re okay?
she seems like a really nice person. Never really knew anything about her
She's hated on, but never stopped being forgiving to all. She's a good mother too. Very humble person
REGIS TO YOUR FAMILY MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES HEAVEN GAINED A GREAT PERSON.. SO SORRY...
QDP he gave us hope laughter love we need you now...we need shows like that ..happy times to copp with pandemuc ........
Frano honesyp y diemprecon una sonrisa
Kathy you and Reg were the best host ever there will never be anyone like you two!! love you both bless you both. R.I.P Reg. 😔🙏💔❤💕💕❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Kathy Lee the best tribute ever...
Gifford is a talk show legend.
They never got the right replacement for Kathie Lee. Show was never the same after the band broke up.
Regis Philbin will certainly be missed. Such a lovely man.
This is such a honest heartfelt tribute to a real man. Missed your humor Regee!!! Joy, Johanna and JJ...you are in our prayers.
Hi Caroll hope you’re okay?
Kathie Lee seems so genuine and kind. I love her.
I miss them both so much after they left the show it was never the same again without them
Hi Monica hope you’re okay?
Kathy is all in for Jesus. She is always speaking of him.
True but as an atheist myself I never had a problem with it. With Kathie Lee it was different...she was not holier-than-thou, she was not righteous. She said and did things that would be considered Unchristian if it made people laugh, and if it entertained people without putting her faith and values to shame (so to speak and for a lack of a better word), meaning she was down to earth. And I ALWAYS watched Live with Regis and Kathie Lee (tape it on my vcr when I had to go to school) and I like to believe that down-to-earth personality is what made the chemistry work on that show. And Regis, I also Iike to believe, was just being Regis...that's just the way he was which is why he was loved
Yes she is beautiful soul
Yes, Kathy understands there is a God and Jesus Christ is the Son of God who said that no person comes to God the Father except through Him. She knows that she will see Regis again and that friendship they had here will continue on forever!!
@@Etobeeshawn Wiccan here and I totally agree. She seems wonderfully genuine in her faith, but more importantly, she doesn't flaunt it or seem like the type who'd think herself better than others for it. As she mentioned, they did a segment on crystals and she participated and had fun with it even though she didn't personally believe in it. She seems like a lovely person to have an inter-faith conversation with, and like someone who would really listen.
And as for Regis, he just seemed like a cool guy, a genuine New Yorker, that is, a down-to-earth class act. I used to watch "Regis and Kathie Lee" all the time as kid, or would tape it if I had to miss it. It was such a great show. Rest in peace, Regis.
Such a wonderful and joyous man.. He will be missed.. Loved wathching him and Kathie Lee together when they did their show and enjoyed seeing his wife Joy on sometimes as well. You can tell by watching the interview, Kathie Lee really adored Regis and i know he adored her as well. They were truly soulmates when it came to friendship. RIP Regis.. Prayers to his wife Joy and their family and to all his friends as well..
Such a gentleman! He reminded me of my father. He was one year younger, almost to the day. (Virgo men are the best.) Soon that breed of men aren’t going to exist any longer. They grew up in the depression and they appreciated what they had.
Hi Patty hope you’re okay?
Kathie Lee loved Regis. She loved him and cared about his feelings when he alma matr would lose a game. She would call to see how he was doing. So cute.
Regis and Kathy Lee was the best show ever. Rest in peace Regis! Luv u Kathy Lee
Hi Theresa hope you’re okay?
Kathie brought tears to my eyes. She genuinely loved Regis.
Kathy&Regis were always my favorites! Love&Respect! 💜
Hi Dbirdey hope you’re okay?
I haven't been able to cry much in years but this tribute brought big tears to my eyes and I finally felt emotional again. I loved Regis he was one in a milliion.
Kathy seems like a genuinely beautiful person. I’m sorry for her loss. Rip Regis.
I have to give NBC props for just letting her lament without interruption or trying to lead the questioning.👍
One of my all-time favorite Regis & Kathie Lee moments was when she participated on the very first Celebrity edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ?" when she aced the "Fast Finger" round & his reaction (and then their producer, Gelman, blew it so her, she won $32,000 for her charity)
I will ALWAYS believe that Kathie Lee was a FAR better co-hostess than Kelly Ripa 🌹
It' one of my fave moments too.
Agreed!
DAVE ADAM yep! And definitely nicer! I met her in 2017, and she was so kind to me.
People from all over the world love you Kathie.
God bless you...
A true friend indeed!! This was beautiful!!!
Hi Ronnie hope you’re okay?
Had me in tears RIP Regis
I was okay until her story at the end GOT ME. RIP Regis
Amen. Kathie talking about blessed and god yes sister! Go ahead and talk about those things on nbc 😀
REGIS, you will be missed. Jokes, singing and laughter up in heaven. GOD Bless, Remington family.
Regis & Kathie Lee always my favorite!😘
I started my day everyday with Regis and Kathie Lee and I loved it. My youngest son was just born and he watched it with me over the years too. What an amazing man Regis Philbin was. My heart goes out to Joy, his children and those who worked with him. I watch Kelly and Ryan now, and they are amazing too. I watched Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on All My Children. I have many, many memories with these wonderful people. My prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. Keep Regis's memory alive! May he rest in peace. 🙏😔
Hi Paula hope you’re okay?
Sending out thoughts & prayers to Joy & for your entire family. R.I.P. Regis! Thanks For The Memories.
.
Hi Debbie hope you’re okay?
Rest in peace Regis. My condolences to Joy and the family including Kathie Lee for your loss :-(
Kathy Lee what a great way to honor Regis. We need more real moments. We need entertainers like you both in the industry. You two were the light and laughter that we all could say "yes, we can relate".We could find humor in your talent for an hour a day in sometimes this crazy chaotic world. Your timing and humanity came across everyday. RIP Regis
Hi Karen hope you’re okay?
Kathie Lee Gifford what a wonderful memory to hold in your heart forever you are very genuine and sincere you were talking from your heart thank you for sharing some memories 😘
Anyone else amazed at all the wonderful life messages and lessons that is in this interview. God bless you Kathie Lee!!!!
I didn’t grow up watching these two but watching this piece was so sweet and wholesome. What a special bond they had.
Hi Cherly hope you’re okay?
Ask Kathy Lee is speaking about Regus, I had tears flowing down my face. I only watched him practically daily for all his years we all loved him and will always love him and you Kathy Lee.🤗🤗🇨🇦
It's really wonderful to know that all these people that I have watched talk about Regis isn't just after he passed. The friendships, relationships, and love was there forever. RIP Regis!
Regis and Kathie Lee were amazing together. So funny. Great chemistry. And they had a real friendship. I will miss Regis. He is now with the Lord.
I have loved and watched Regis and Kathy Lee since probably 1986 was. Very sad when Kathie Lee left but continue to watch him and Kelly. Regis and Kathie Lee always had this wonderful relationship that made you laugh it was silly it was giddy and it just started your day off on such a wonderful note God bless the two of them! Loved when his wife Joy was on with him laughed like crazy as well. I met him a few times I have pictures of Kathie Lee Gelman and Regis they always made me feel so welcomed at the studio as a fan who just enjoyed watching this show! We will miss you dearly Regis God bless I know you will looking down and smiling and not only all your fans such as me but everyone that you have touched rest in peace you are a beautiful soul!🙏❤
Hi Deborah hope you’re okay?
i and my sister and mother use to watch these two all the time. I loved them both. So sorry to hear Regis passed. Just loved the chemistry of these two.
Kathie Lee and Régis- my childhood! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That morning show will always be "Regis and Kathy Lee" to me. When she left and they lost that great, fun chemistry, I quit watching.
CMSchmidt I quit watching also after she left. It wasn’t the same..
Same here!
Me too...
Me too
Guess you guys never really supported Regis to begin with then.
I remember back when things the show is really good. Regis and Kathie Lee. Cheers. Cheers Regis
Regis was such a Sweet hearted funny man. Loved watching their show 2gether. So sorry 4 his families loss. TFS!!
He always brightened my day with his stories and escapades! A true TV giant!
What a nice way to remember Regis made me cry Thanks

Hi cougar hope you’re okay?

Hi Kimberly hope you’re okay?
I loved what she said about just making moments happening in life and just letting this happen. This is something I needed to hear and it was just such beautiful advice she gave - I love this interview so much thank you Kathy and May Regis rip 🙏🏻
Regis is now with the lord. Loved him every time I saw him on tv. Very good person. Also Kathy Lee you are a very special person too. 🕊🌸
Sorry for your loss Ms Gifford! A friend of mine was a lighting tech on the Regis and Cathy Lee show. I met him once after one of the shows and walked out with him. He was all smiles for a stranger.
Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it with us. Special souls gravitate toward one another.
Thank you for sharing and mentioning the respect for family and support of a friend it's a fine line BRAVO
such a wonderful tribute to a long friend of hers. God Bless you Kathie, and to Joy and her family. Thank you for sharing such lovely memories you had with Regis.
This made me cry:( I'm so glad I was around to watch them. They gave so much joy to my mother too!
RIP Regis! I loved watching Regis & Kathie Lee.
Hi Sharon hope you’re okay?
What a wonderful heart warming tribute to a friend and soul mate.
We all should be so lucky.
God, I was a child waking up with my parents and we always watched Live with Regis and Kathie Lee and I loved every second of it. Those were very fond memories for me; no yelling or stress during that hour.
Thank you Regis and Kathie Lee
