I am heartbroken to hear that #regisphilbin died. He was 88 years old. I had the pleasure of working with him for a few years. I learned so much about tv. And I watched how he treated all of us on his staff like we were just as special as his guests. He was amazing! Send love to #joyphilbin and the family. I will miss him #legend

BREAKING: RIP to one of the most talented natural broadcasters ever, the World Record Holder for hours in front of a TV camera, and one my personal favorites to watch and marvel at how he made an hour unscripted each day fresh and compelling #Regis https://t.co/KBFy8YIpLe

Ugh my heart breaks for his family. Regis was so humble, I always enjoyed watching anything he was apart of. My Nan and I never missed an episode of him hosting who wants to be a millionaire.
🙏🏽 My thoughts and prayers are with his family. https://t.co/5gRj4OR9vF

This news made me so so sad. I’ve always loved Regis and his energy. From his roots in TV & Radio... his time on AM LA, and on to network and NYC... Regis was always a true Broadcaster, able to do it all. #RIPRegis #Reeeg https://t.co/lrq8PValjU

Imagine holding the Guinness record for most hours on TV, and people never ever getting tired of you.

Few celebs will ever match the likeability of Regis Philbin. https://t.co/emXcSaKoyj

RIP Regis....always entertaining, always a good sport and seemed like an awesome guy

Very few people have had longer careers in Television and very few have seemed more normal and likable https://t.co/u4xmK425jO

I grew up watching Regis on Live and Millionaire with my grandmother. He was always on in the house. So, so sad to hear of his passing. He brought joy to so many.
