On this morning's LIVE! WITH REGIS AND KELLY, superstar Tony Bennett came on the show to say his farewells to Philbin who will be departing as host after this Friday, November 18th.  On Monday, Regis was serenaded by Jimmy Fallon who sang, 'It's Only Just Begun'.  On today's show, Philbin joined Bennett in a duet of the classic,  'The Best Is Yet to Come'.

A new co-host replacement for Philbin has not yet been named by the show's producers and as a result, the show will temporarily be renamed, LIVE! WITH KELLY. As a search for a replacement begins, Ripa will be joined by a revolving door of celebrity co-hosts, beginning with Jerry Seinfeld on Monday November 21 - 23. Producers followed a similar plan when co-host Kathie Lee Gifford left the show in 2000, retitling the show 'Live! With Regis'. Ultimately, Ripa got the job in 2001.
