1. I don't know if you have to be a certain age to have an appreciation for Regis Philbin, but if you are a fan of the media business, you know that Philbin was an iconic broadcaster.
Obviously, the two jobs at the top of Philbin's résumé were hosting his long-running daytime TV show with Katie Lee Gifford and Kelly Ripa and hosting Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
I'm not sure everyone remembers what a phenomenon Millionaire was, but it gripped the country in a way few television programs ever have, and Regis was the perfect host for it.
