Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest Remember Regis Philbin: "He Could Tell a Story Like Nobody Else"
Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest paid tribute to friend and former colleague Regis Philbin, who died on Friday, on Monday morning's edition of Live With Kelly and Ryan. Both wearing black, Ripa and Seacrest began the program looking somber, with Seacrest calling it a "difficult and emotional day for all of us here at Live," as they began to recall their experiences with Philbin, and Ripa sounded choked up as she started to talk about him, but they both found fond memories of Philbin that made them laugh during the hour-long broadcast, as executive producer Michael Gelman and executive-in-charge Art Moore shared their own recollections of working with Philbin.
