watched him all the time on Letterman. Dave would ask him to "go down memory lane", making Regis squirm

"One of the greats in the history of television, Regis Philbin has passed on to even greater airwaves, at 88. He was a fantastic person, and my friend. He kept telling me to run for President. Holds the record for “most live television”, and he did it well. Regis, we love you" - President Trump

Wow, that's too bad, but ole Regis has been around a long, long time. Most of the people he broke into the business with have already passed away, some long ago. In the Jack Benny picture, the other personality is Joey Bishop, who also passed away a long time ago, and was a frequent co-host of The Tonight Show when Carson just started the show.

Regis told Trump to run for president? Not a snowball`s chance in hell that ever happened. Only idiots believe the garbage that comes out of his mouth and their numbers are shrinking every day.

I disagree. Carson was amazingly funny, but by all reports, he was an asshole. Ive never heard a bad word about Regis.
