At age 88, Regis Philbin has had one of the most successful and long careers as a game-and-talk-show host who, after graduating from his beloved University of Notre Dame and a stint in the Navy, began his television career as an announcer on 'The Tonight Show,' a talk-show in San Diego and in 1967 as Joey Bishop's sidekick on 'The Joey Bishop Show.' Regis worked nonstop from coast to coast including Los Angeles, St Louis and New York as America's favorite conversationalist until he retired from 'Live! With Regis and Kelly' in 2011. He has resided on the East Coast for decades close to the New York television studios, but has recently put his Connecticut home on the market so that he and wife, Joy, can move to California to be closer to their children. The mansion is priced at $4.595 million, 36% less than what he paid for it almost a decade ago.
