Regis Philbin to Receive Lifetime Achievement Award

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Regis Philbin, host of “Live with Regis and Kelly.” Since Philbin first stepped in front of the camera more than 40 years ago, he has ambitiously tackled talk shows, game shows and almost anything else television could offer. Early on, Philbin took “A.M. Los Angeles” from the bottom of the ratings to number one through his 7 year tenure and was nationally known as Joey Bishop’s sidekick on “The Joey Bishop Show.” In 1983, he created “The Morning Show” for WABC in his native Manhattan. It quickly became the number one show in the market. Kathie Lee Gifford joined him in June, 1985, and in September, 1988, the program debuted in national syndication and the title was changed to “Live with Regis & Kathie Lee.” In 2001, Philbin was joined by Kelly Ripa, and the program entered a new era as “Live with Regis and Kelly.” As it continues its landmark 20th season, the syndicated program has become a staple of Daytime television.
