Regis Philbin Returning To TV

Regis (NY Daily News)
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."
