You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Philbin gained his first network TV exposure in 1967 as [[Joey Bishop]]'s [[sidekick]] on ''[[The Joey Bishop Show (talk show)|The Joey Bishop Show]]''<ref name="Berman"/> on television (1967–1969). In a [[Johnny Carson]]-[[Ed McMahon]] vein, Bishop would playfully tease Philbin and he would take the barbs in stride.

A few nights later, assured by Bishop that all was well and the barbs were not personal, Philbin returned. As revealed in his 1995 book, ''I'm Only One Man!'', this was actually a publicity stunt planned by Bishop and Philbin beforehand.<ref>((cite web |last1=Fretts |first1=Bruce |title=TV Show Review: 'I'm Only One Man' |url=https://ew.com/article/1995/09/15/tv-show-review-im-only-one-man/ |publisher=Entertainment Weekly |access-date=July 26, 2020 |date=September 15, 1995))</ref> He reiterates this assertion in his 2011 memoir, ''How I Got This Way'', explaining that it was intended to draw in some of [[Johnny Carson]]'s viewers.<ref>((cite news |title=Regis Philbin Explains How He 'Got This Way' |newspaper=NPR.org |url=https://www.npr.org/2011/11/15/142309202/regis-philbin-explains-how-he-got-this-way |publisher=NPR |access-date=July 26, 2020 |date=November 14, 2011))</ref> When ''The Joey Bishop Show'' was canceled, Bishop returned the favor and walked off the show on air unannounced, leaving Philbin to carry the night on his own.<ref>((cite web |last1=Ellerbee |first1=Bobby |title=April 17, 1967...

During the early 1970s, Philbin co-hosted ''Tempo'' on Los Angeles station KHJ-TV (now [[KCAL-TV]]).  He also commuted on weekends to [[St. Louis]], where he filmed ''Regis Philbin's Saturday Night in St. Louis''<ref name=Yahoo/> on KMOX-TV (now [[KMOV]]).

From November 30, 1981, to April 9, 1982, Philbin and [[Mary Hart]] co-hosted "The Regis Philbin Show," a national morning [[variety series]] for [[NBC]]. Philbin was hoping to transfer his success from KABC to a [[television network|national network show]], but the show was not successful and lasted only 18 weeks.<ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/film/57/Regis-Philbin.html Regis Philbin Biography (1933–)<!-- Bot generated title -->] from filmreference.com</ref>  During 1982 to 1988, Philbin hosted the shows ''Health Styles''<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2783062/ Regis Philbin's Healthstyles<!-- Bot generated title -->] from IMDb</ref> and ''Lifestyles with Regis Philbin''<ref>[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1025006/ Regis Philbin's Lifestyles (TV Series 1984–1987)<!-- Bot generated title -->] from IMDb</ref> on the Cable Health Network and its successor, the [[Lifetime (TV network)|Lifetime]] television network.

After Garvey left Los Angeles in 1982 and moved to New York City,<ref name="Yahoo" /> Philbin rejoined her on ''[[Live with Kelly and Ryan|The Morning Show]]'',<ref name="Yahoo" /> on [[WABC-TV]] starting on April 4, 1983.<ref name="Yahoo" /> At the time, the 9&nbsp;am time slot for WABC suffered from low [[Nielsen ratings]] because of competition from [[WNBC-TV]]'s ''[[The Phil Donahue Show|Donahue]]'' and [[WCBS-TV]]'s game show block featuring ''[[The Joker's Wild]]'' and ''[[Tic-Tac-Dough|Tic Tac Dough]]''. After Garvey left again and Ann Abernathy briefly shared co-hosting duties, Philbin was paired with [[Kathie Lee Gifford|Kathie Lee Johnson]] (later Gifford), in June 1985, and [[Audience measurement|ratings]] improved significantly. The show became nationally [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] on September 5, 1988, as ''[[Live with Kelly and Mark|Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee]]''<ref name="Yahoo" /> and the success continued. The program replaced ''A.M. Los Angeles'' upon its [[cancellation (television)|cancellation]] in 1991 and was eventually picked up by all of the ABC owned-and-operated stations except for [[WLS-TV|WLS]] in Chicago, which aired ''[[The Oprah Winfrey Show]]'' in that time slot and had done so since the show's debut as ''A.M.

Philbin was the original host of the US version of ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (American game show)|Who Wants to Be a Millionaire]]'', an ABC game show that [[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?|had its roots in Britain]].

ABC aired ''Millionaire'' as a regular series with frequent episodes, but its viewership slowly declined. After ''Millionaire'' was canceled, it was retooled in 2002 as a syndicated series hosted by [[Meredith Vieira]]. ABC brought back ''Millionaire'' in 2004 with Philbin, retitled ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (American game show)#Who Wants to Be a Super Millionaire?|Who Wants to Be a Super Millionaire]]'', a related series that was aired on a more limited basis.

In November 2005, ABC announced that Philbin would host the network's revival of ''[[This Is Your Life (American franchise)|This Is Your Life]]''.

Joy occasionally co-hosted with Philbin.((citation needed|date = July 2020)) On ''Live'', he often mentioned Joy, and to a lesser degree his children.((citation needed|date = July 2020)) He split his time between his [[Manhattan]] apartment (near the [[WABC-TV]] studios) and his house in [[Greenwich, Connecticut]].<ref name = NYTObit>((cite news|url = https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/25/arts/television/regis-philbin-dead.html|title = Regis Philbin, TV's Indignant Everyman, Dies at 88|work = [[The New York Times]]|date = July 25, 2020|access-date = July 25, 2020|last = McFadden|first = Robert D.))</ref>

After graduating from Notre Dame in 1953, he returned to campus often for football games, concerts, pep rallies, banquets, and other events, and donated $2.75&nbsp;million to the university to build the Philbin Studio Theatre for performance arts productions. When he heard that [[Larry King]] had never visited [[Notre Dame Stadium]], he invited King and insisted on giving him a tour of the "greatest college campus in the world", which he did in October 2002 with [[Tim Russert]] also in attendance.<ref>((cite web |last1=Report |first1=Tribune Staff |title=Regis Philbin funeral service, burial to be held on Notre Dame campus |url=https://www.southbendtribune.com/news/local/regis-philbin-funeral-service-burial-to-be-held-on-notre-dame-campus/article_ef58892c-cf64-11ea-ad07-ef93c0496d93.html |website=South Bend Tribune |access-date=July 29, 2020 |language=en))</ref>

Philbin played on the Notre Dame tennis team, casting doubt on claims he made in an ad that he had learned to play tennis from Joy. Notre Dame football coaches such as [[Charlie Weis]], [[Tyrone Willingham]], and [[Lou Holtz]] have appeared on ''Live''. Along with being a Yankees fan, Philbin was also "keeping an eye on the [[Florida Marlins]]".<ref>((cite web|url=http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080612&content_id=2901048&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb|title=You gotta believe, Regis says|website=Major League Baseball))</ref> On May 5, 2009, he delivered the first pitch at a Marlins game.

In March 1984, Philbin opened a [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] dealership in [[Gilbert, Arizona]], as a side investment during his career in television. The dealership, Philbin Ford, suffered due to the already-saturated auto market in the area, and it was closed in late 1988.<ref>((cite book |title=Who Wants to Be Me? |last=Philbin |first=Regis |year=2000 |publisher=Hyperion |isbn=0-7868-6739-6 |url=https://archive.org/details/whowantstobeme00phil ))</ref>

Philbin was known to have trouble handling new technology, and was frequently confused when operating electronics such as remote controls and DVD players. He did not usually use computers (although he did use one for an episode of ''Live'' in 2008, demonstrating how to find homes online) and did not own a cell phone until September 2008. It is often noted, however, that he did not completely reject technology; he simply had Joy make calls and send emails for him.<ref>Noted in a late-2005 broadcast episode of ''Live'', by Joy Philbin.</ref>

===''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire''===
During the successful first run of ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (American game show)|Who Wants to Be a Millionaire]]'', Philbin popularized the [[monochromatic]] look in men's formal wear that emphasizes color rather than pattern in ties and dress shirts. His look was a suit, shirt and tie coordinated in solid, slightly varying shades of the same, usually dark or muted, color.<ref name="CNN-2002" /> A [[Van Heusen (brand)|Van Heusen]] clothing line based on this look, called ''Regis'', was short-lived.<ref>((cite web |url=http://www.hollywood.com/news/EXTRA_Shopping_for_Regis/312513 |title=Extra: Shopping for Regis |access-date=February 16, 2007 |last=Keller |first=Julie |date=June 16, 2000 |publisher=Hollywood.com |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130127013248/http://www.hollywood.com/news/EXTRA_Shopping_for_Regis/312513 |archive-date=January 27, 2013 |url-status=dead))</ref>

When Philbin hosted ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'', he used the phrase "''Is that your final answer?''" whenever he had to confirm a contestant's answer.

In August 2009, Philbin returned to host a two-week miniseries of new ''Millionaire'' episodes celebrating the American primetime show's 10th anniversary. The eleven shows (Sunday-to-Thursday twice, plus one extra Sunday) started airing on August 9 on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] primetime.

Philbin (along with [[Steve Harvey]] and [[John Henson (comedian)|John Henson]]) were named the 2009–10 guest hosts of the daily ''Millionaire''. Philbin's episodes aired November 30 – December 4, 2009, and debuted new rules on the show.

In October 2007, Philbin was featured in the 100th anniversary issue of the [[Neiman Marcus]] Christmas Book. He was a host of the ''Classical Superstars Fantasy Concert'', which included piano virtuoso [[Lola Astanova]] with Russia's [[Kirov Orchestra]] led by conductor [[Valery Gergiev]].
