Two years since he left his cohost position on Live With
Regis and Kelly, Philbin has landed a new gig as the host of Fox Sports 1's
upcoming talk show Crowd Goes Wild, the NY Post reports. According to eonline.com,
the daily live TV show on the new Fox Sports 1 cable channel will revolve
around a panel that will be lead by Philbin.
"We've got a nice little panel of people together, a
lot of friends," Philbin says about the show. "And if a celebrity
like George Clooney comes to town with a movie, we'll play clips from his
movie—but we'll also talk to George, who grew up in Cincinnati, about his
sports roots, like if he's still a big Reds fan."
"I'm happy to be part of sports TV," the
81-year-old continued. "If you look at the ratings, that's what's on top.
Sports is the biggest hit TV has these days. It's all there on the field,
pal."
Crowd Goes Wild will air daily at 5 p.m. and will feature a
roundtable of Philbin and five others, who have yet to be confirmed. However,
Philbin say one will be an ex-NFL player."
