Snakkle Celebrates Regis Philbin’s Amazing Career as He Retires from Live with Regis and Kelly
A fixture on television for almost 50 years, Regis Philbin has adapted and thrived in the business in his various roles as a game show host, chat show personality, sometimes actor, and overall audience-pleasing entertainer. He’s been called the “hardest-working man in show business,” and Guinness World Records backed it up by confirming that he has officially spent the “Most Hours on Camera” of anyone on television. Philbin officially retires from his Live morning show on November 18, 2011, after 23 years, so we at Snakkle want to celebrate that milestone and his many others! By Tara Bennett

Regis Philbin and Family (1987)
On the personal side, Philbin has been married twice. His first marriage lasted 13 years and produced two kids, Amy and Daniel. In 1970, Regis married Joy Senese, and together they had two kids, Joanna and J.J. Joy and Regis have often cohosted Live together or performed together in concert, managing to keep their 41-year union strong and vital (despite their hilarious on-camera bickering).
