Regis Returning to “Millionaire”

It’s a blast from the not-so distant past… ABC is reviving “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” this summer, and they got Regis Philbin to come back as host. It’s been nearly a decade since the TV game show became a smash hit, and Reege debuted his famous monochromatic ensembles, and now both are set to return to the small screen. According to ABC execs, “Millionaire” will return as an 11-night event, beginning August 9th and concluding August 23rd. The popular quiz show premiered in the U.S. during the summer of 1999, and it didn’t take long before couch potatoes … Continue reading →

Reege to the Rescue—Yet Again!

When in need turn to Reege. ABC did when they needed a host for “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” and now CBS has followed suit turning to the king of daytime talk to inject star power into their new primetime game show “Million Dollar Password.” The series debuted on Sunday and delivered solid ratings. Make that king-sized ratings. According to Nielsen, Sunday night’s premiere of “Million Dollar Password” was the highest rated show in its timeslot. And Regis Philbin is taking all the credit. The 76-year-old charmer doesn’t do much on the show, but that’s what makes him so … Continue reading →

Not the Marrying Type

If I have to hear Anna Kournikova whine about how she never wants to get married I might scream. The tennis star made headlines earlier this week when she told reporters that while she has been dating her sexy boyfriend Enrique Iglesias for three years she has no plans to marry him… despite the fact that he has been proposing to her for the last year. What gives? Maybe it’s age. The ravishing blonde former tennis star is almost 27 while her hunky Latin lover is days away from turning 33. (Still young in my book.) Or perhaps Kournikova is … Continue reading →

New Gigs For Some Old Favorites

I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t fix what’s not broken. So, I’m not sure what producers of the 37-year-old PBS classic “Masterpiece Theatre” are thinking by reformatting the show. Producers call it a “new move,” which means they are doing more “sprucing” than “revamping.” Either way regular viewer of the legendary anthology series will have to get use to a new look. According to show producers, the show will be split into three mini-seasons, each with its own theme and host – one of whom is Gillian Anderson. That’s right; Agent Dana Scully from the now defunct FOX series “The … Continue reading →

All Jimmy All The Time

If you are a fan of Jimmy Kimmel I have good news for you. If you can’t stand the guy then I would suggest staying away from your TV for a while. And if have no clue who Jimmy Kimmel is you probably will by the end of the month. The late night talk show host will be saturating the airwaves beginning next week. In a move that has never been executed by an entertainer, Kimmel is going bicoastal. He’s keeping his gig as host of ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in Los Angeles but will also be filling in for … Continue reading →

Regis Goes Primetime and Enrique Does Daytime

What’s going on with Regis Philbin? The 75-year-old talk show host said he was seriously considering retiring after this season. And who could blame him? His daytime talk show, “Live with Regis and Kelly” just passed the 20 year mark (he’s remained a constant fixture though his co-hosts have changed over the years), his daughter is about to give birth to his new grandchild, and he just underwent major heart surgery that took him off the air for more than a month. But now in a move that is shocking fans around the nation, instead of slowing down “Reege” recently … Continue reading →
