https://variety.com/2020/tv/news/regis-philbin-david-letterman-late-show-appearances-1234716700/ (link) Tom Wolper, to PGage, today (7/26): > > Regis had a rare talent of being high energy and not self conscious when > he was on camera, no matter if he had something prepared or he had to talk > spontaneously. Almost everybody gets self conscious when they see the red > light on a TV camera and they might need a few seconds to get beyond it and > start talking. Regis could just go without a second thought. That's what > made him a good talk show host and especially a good fill-in talk show > guest. If he didn't have anything to promote or any reason to be in the > news it didn't matter. Just bring him on the show and let him go for a > segment. > B -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
