It would be the end of an era!
Regis Philbin announced today that he is taking a leave of absence from his morning show, Live with Regis and Kelly, to recover from his upcoming hip surgery.
78-year-old Reg will be leaving the show beginning on December 1 and into 2010.
We wish him a speedy recovery!
Who else could sit in that chair next to Kelly Ripa?
