- Here's an edition of the short-lived Regis Philbin Show as aired on the NBC Network via its Chicago O&O, WMAQ Channel 5. The lovely young lady co-hosting with him is Mary Hart, just a few months before she first joined Entertainment Tonight as a co-host - and (along with her legs) became an icon in the process.
(Font note: The typeface used for the show is Windsor Bold Condensed.)
This was a year before Mr. Philbin was hired by WABC Channel 7 in New York to co-host, with Cyndy Garvey (ex-wife of legendary baseball player Steve Garvey), a local hour-long program to be called The Morning Show, after mostly failed predecessors such as AM New York (1970-80; except for a brief shining moment in 1976-78 when, for part of that time, it was called The Stanley Siegel Show, before WNBC Channel 4 in 1977 picked up the then-Chicago-based Donahue and began nearly a decade of domination in its time slot) and Good Morning New York (1980-83). (That show would be first syndicated in 1987 as Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, aired in Chicago first over WBBM Channel 2, then WGN Channel 9 - both former Donahue homes - and is known today as Live with Kelly and Ryan. But back to the past...)
The guests on this episode are Suzanne Somers and astrologer Joyce Jillson.

Animated NBC ID (voiceover by ??)
Show open (voiceover by Mary Hart?), with introduction of guests and Regis and Mary doing opening chit-chat about his recent trip to San Diego with old friend Bill Rankin from his days in the service, and other events over the weekend (Did "John" pop the question to Mary Hart during her visit to Oklahoma? Oklahoma? Her bio doesn't say anything about her living in Oklahoma) before he goes over to speak to Suzanne (recently fired from Three's Company) to discuss her cookbook
Bumper previewing next day's guests, Jim Palmer and his "men's underwear fashion show" and an undescribed "television first" and General Hospital star Genie Francis (voiceover by Mary Hart?)

In Segment 2, Regis explains that Suzanne is a graduate of the Cordon Bleu cooking school in Paris (or at least a course in Puff Pastry), before she starts cooking, preparing a chicken (whom she names "Freddie") for cooking and then stuffing with zucchini, also making sure to plug her TV special airing that evening, followed by where to send for the recipe
Commercials for:
Luvs diapers (1-year-old baby "Sarah", celebrating birthday) - "Your baby's comfort begins with Luvs."
Dawn dishwashing liquid - 6 foot meatball sandwich - "Takes Grease out of your way."

In Segment 3, syndicated columnist Joyce Jillson (seen in the New York Daily News, Chicago Tribune and other papers) provides astrological forecasts which Regis, at the outset, disclaims "are not based on scientific fact and are presented for entertainment purposes only"; they go into Suzanne's astrological sign of Libra and a pronunciation debate follows; Ms. Jillson also makes predictions involving Elizabeth Taylor and Erik Estrada
Bumper previewing Dick Clark for Thursday and Bob Hope for Friday (voiceover by Mary Hart?)

Today marks one year since we lost Regis.
This is the show that replaced Las Vegas Gambit 3 months earlier. Great find!
And in April 1982 the Regis Philbin Show was replaced by daytime reruns of Diff'rent Strokes.
Rip Regis we miss you!
Wow. Four days before my 18th birthday. 😊😊
I love Reg! This is fabulous!
Thanks so much for this not too much footage of Regis before his show got syndicated. This was done in LA Or San Diego?
Burbank. He had to get established in NYC (starting over a year from this show) before he got syndicated. You read the backstory in the description?
LA (Burbank to be exact). This was an NBC network show that only lasted 4 months.
Prior to this, Philbin hosted similar formatted AM Los Angeles on KABC-TV 7 from 1976 to 81. His original cohost was Sarah Purcell, followed by Cyndi Garvey in early 1979. Philbin and Garvey both left the show around the same time. When KABC canceled AM in 1991, it was replaced with Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, which had moved from KCAL 9.
@@joshjacobs1503 - And it was Ms. Garvey with whom Mr. Philbin was first paired in New York when WABC hired him in their third stab at a morning show as noted elsewhere around here.
Anyone remember the lass who co-hosted with him between Ms. Garvey and Kathie Lee - Ann Abernathy?
I wonder what would have happened had Regis Philbin got the A.M. Chicago hosting job in 1974?
Who knows. But when WABC first hired Philbin in 1983, he was seen in many corners (as per a New York Intelligencer article a month prior to his debut there) as an outside interloper, given his mostly working on the West Coast (including this show) up to that point (irrespective of his growing up in the Bronx); plus, the program "The Morning Show" replaced, "Good Morning New York," was co-hosted by one of "Eyewitness News' " longtime star reporters and weekend anchors, Doug Johnson, and a features reporter on the same newscast, Judy Licht (in-between her stints with WNEW/WNYW Channel 5). And "Reege" was by no means an instant success when he started with 'em (indeed, "Donahue" on WNBC was still ratings champ in the 9 A.M. hour in those early years); took Kathie Lee to be paired with him in '85 for the show to really take off, and in the early years of their teaming she was the one largely credited with its success. By then Phil had made New York (and in particular 30 Rock) his base of operations; Regis and Kathie Lee in New York, and Oprah in Chicago, were among those who helped dethrone him.
Is that Mary Hart?
Sho' iz . . . she's clearly mentioned in the description for this.
Was it taped at NBC Studios, Burbank??
Love the fading effect due to airtraffic. Good ol’ analogue times...
Which airport - O'Hare or Midway?
Fun show!
Mary Hart worked in Oklahoma City early in her TV career.
She had excellent chemistry with Regis. She should have came with him to New York instead of Cyndy Garvey.
But by then, Entertainment Tonight had claimed Ms. Hart . . .
Live aired on 9? I don't remember seeing that; I presume this was after the local and national feeds were split off?
Came to WGN in 1995. It'd been syndicated for eight years at that point (having been on WBBM before then). It "went national" in 1987.
had to stop watching it after I started to get a seizure from hearing Mary Hart's voice...
There is a "Mute" button, y'know . . . ;-)
Nice Seinfeld/Kramer reference!
@@ChrisHansonCanada - You probably didn't see the wink and grin . . .
Wonder if they had simonella back then.
This makes it ironic that Kathie Lee Gifford ended up on the Today show.
yassssss skinnnyy
Joyce's prediction on Taylor and Burton was...not quite right. This must also be the only time I've heard Liz Taylor and Erik Estrada mentioned in the same sentence.
According to Michael Gelman, Regis's NBC show had three strikes against him: It was scripted, only a half-hour (meaning his "host chat" monologue had to be abbreviated), and taped a day in advance (though I think this Monday show was live).
Also...not all affiliates cleared the show anyway.
And of course, it was on NBC during one of the low points in its long history . . . again, took his going to New York, followed by being paired with then-Kathie Lee Johnson, to finally strike gold. "Donahue" on WNBC had already eaten up and spit out two other attempts at a morning show by WABC; that pairing turned the tide and brought ratings not seen by the station since Stanley Siegel prior to Channel 4 snapping up "Donahue." And ended up more sustained than when Siegel helmed the show.
@@wmbrown6 Tic Tac Dough and The Joker’s Wild over on WCBS at that same 9:00 am hour also had something to do with it.
@@johnnyballenatl - At the very least they were a comfortable 2nd . . .
@@johnnyballenatl Regis aired on NBC at 10a Eastern/9a everywhere else.
@@RolloSmokes So I guess some stations in the Central Time Zone either aired him on a half-hour delay at 9:30 (following Richard Simmons, Bullseye, Face the Music, or even the 1980-81 Let’s Make A Deal reboot done in Canada), or not at all in favor of Hour Magazine, Tic Tac Dough/Joker’s Wild, or the aforementioned Donahue.
So many things to absorb. Tony Randall's handlers said he needed a disease? Was that a real chicken? I would throw that towel away if it was a real one. Where did Mary go during the show? Horoscopes and Gloria Marshall to pad. And Friday it's Bob Hope, Guess the Pope and Reagan were busy?
Too bad Kathy Lee had to come along and ruin his show.
"Ruin"? In her early years with him, she was largely credited with its success, before his stature rose to iconic status.
Kathy lee was amazing. What did u smoke?
