Talk show veteran Regis Philbin was mobbed on his way to the set of "Live with Regis and Kelly," marking his final episode after 28 years on the show.

His friends and family were in the studio to bid him farewell, along with "Extra" host Maria Menounos, who brought Reege a bottle of champagne. The 80-year-old declared, "Let's get wasted!"

Veteran morning talk show host Regis Philbin has decided to call it a daytime talk show.

Regis, 79, made the announcement at the start of Tuesday morning's "Live with Regis and Kelly," which he has hosted since 1983, most recently sharing hosting duties with Kelly Ripa. Regis' other famous co-host, Kathie Lee Gifford, is now paired with Hoda Kotb on the "Today" show.

Philbin said he would be stepping down from the show around the end of the summer or the fall, but didn't specify a specific date.

"Today's" Matt Lauer, Al Roker and Kathie Lee Gifford showed support for their colleague Hoda Kotb as she launched her new book, "How I Survived War Zones, Bad Hair, Cancer and Kathie Lee."

May the force be with the "Today Show!"

The "Today Show" crew celebrated Halloween by dressing as characters from "Star Wars" on Friday morning.

Hoda Kotb dressed as Yoda, Natalie Morales as Queen Amidala, Kathie Lee Gifford as C-3PO, Meredith Vieira as Princess Leia, Matt Lauer as Luke Skywalker, Al Roker as Han Solo and Ann Curry as Darth Vader for the annual "Halloween on the Plaza."

"Star Wars" creator George Lucas and the team at Lucasfilm helped the anchors with their costumes and provided real props from the films -- they even sent along 8-foot-tall Chewbacca!
