With Regis Philbin set to depart Live! With Regis and Kelly on November 18, the show has booked “some of Philbin’s favorite guests and friends” for his final week. They include Philbin’s former co-host Kathie Lee Gifford (November 17), fellow talk-show hosts David Letterman (November 16) and Jimmy Fallon (November 14) as well as Donald Trump (November 15) and Don Rickles (November 14). In addition, each day there will be a special musical tribute featuring singers such as Tony Bennett, Bret Michaels and Josh Groban. Philbin’s last show is being billed as an hourlong tribute commemorating his nearly three decades on Live!.

Bret Michaels???
I’ll be sooooo glad when this “good-bye” is OVER!!! It’s been longer than Cher’s last “Farewell Tour”!!!! JEEZ!!
Jimmy Fallon and Letterman but no Leno, because it’s well known that Regis, Kelly and before her Kathie Lee cannot stand Leno. They’re smart people.
Then why do Kathie Lee and her pal Hoda go on Jay a good bit if she hates him so much?
Love Letterman…LOVE REGIS, so sad to say goodbye! ;(
I love Regis and I will miss him! Once he leaves I am no longer watching. The show will be boring and won’t last long without him.
This has gone on way too long. Regis’s leaving should have been announced a couple of weeks ago – say his goodbyes for a month and that’s it. I’m sorry to see him go but he deserves a chance for a new direction or just plain play in his very golden years. Gelman has a habit of dragging things on and on. Sorry that Kathie Lee G is going to be on…she is graceless, loud and crass…and what is with that long hair. She is not 25 – must be an embarassment to her daughter. I won’t be watching the segments when she is on nor Letterman’s. Where are the good late nite hosts-types of yesteryear gone.
