Just You. Just Me. And Regis makes three.
Recently I had a chance to visit with the King of Talk TV! I was invited into the very unique office of Regis Philbin's at his ABC studio and had a wonderful conversation about his new CD, Just You. Just Me.
The day I was there, Regis had just topped the Amazon Easy Listening charts with his album and was excited about the musical ride he was on.
Regis rules!
What a charmer! Sitting and talking with Regis was like having a comfy discussion in my Bronx neighborhood with an old friend. I was delighted to be chatting with Regis in his domain, complete with a life sized cardboard cutout of Dean Martin, right by Regis's side.
Its clear to me that this veteran of the airwaves has enjoyed so much success because of his unique self deprecating humor, his humility and his vulnerability. (I think that his Bronx up-bringing is probably part of it too!)
Watch this interview with Regis. I'm the one behind the camera asking the questions.
Order his latest romantic cd Just You. Just Me that he recorded with his wife, Joy.
Regis Philbin is a delight, and still going strong! (Special thanks to Barbara Warren, Monica Buccini, and of course, Regis himself for
this fabulous interview.)
Till next week,
Valerie Smaldone
