SMU's Tate Series presents media personality Regis Philbin
Tate Lectures present cultural icon Regis Philbin at SMU on Tuesday.
Philbin is a cultural icon – the popular, jovial television personality who stepped down in November 2011 as co-host of the successful ABC morning show, “Live With Regis and Kelly.” Philbin holds the individual Guinness World Record for “most hours on camera.”
Since Philbin first stepped in front of the camera more than 50 years ago, he has tackled talk shows, game shows, the literary world and even the fashion industry. In addition to his daytime success, his nighttime television experience includes, “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire,” “Super Millionaire,” and he was the original host of “America's Got Talent.” He has also hosted the red carpet arrivals show for the Academy Awards.
In May 2001, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences honored him with a Daytime Emmy as Outstanding Game Show Host for “Who Wants to be a Millionaire,” and another Emmy as Outstanding Talk Show Host for his syndicated program, “Live with Regis.”
