Regis Philbin, TV host popular for his long run on the syndicated morning talk show “Live” and ABC’s primetime hit game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” is dead. Regis died of natural causes on Friday 24th July 2020. He was 88.

“His family and friends are forever grateful for the time we got to spend with him.  For his warmth, his legendary sense of humour, and his singular ability to make every day into something worth talking about.

We thank his fans and admirers for their incredible support over his 60-year career. We also ask for privacy as we mourn his loss,” the Philbin family said in a statement.

Despite his approachable personality, Philbin, however, took care not to outshine his guests. “You just don’t go to the next question and you don’t jump all over the guest. You let them be the star of whatever time they have with you,” he said.
