Philbin, who was best known for his work on “Live!
With Regis and Kathie Lee” and later “Live!
With Regis and Kelly,” was a trusted and beloved figure for many.
After Philbin passed away, there was an outpouring of grief from friends, fans, and colleagues alike.
There will never be another," his former co-host Kathie Lee Gifford said onTwitter.
David Letterman also took to Twitter to pay tribute to his friend and colleague.
“Regis is in the same category as Carson.
Superlative,” he wrote, according toPeople.
When he retired I lost interest in television.
I love him."
The TV world can be a difficult place to work, particularly when you’re first starting out.
The former TV show host “never got on some high horse about anything,” Vieira said.
“He said, ‘You’re going to be great, kid.
Just be yourself,'” Vieira revealed.
That was very liberating and I’m sure he knew that."
