Veteran TV host Regis Philbin’s retirement is officially about to end with the announcement on Tuesday that he will host a sports-panel show on FOX Sports 1.
“Extra” was with Philbin at the press conference and asked him how he thought Michael Strahan was doing as his replacement on “Live!” with former co-host Kelly Ripa.
“Strahan is brilliant, and when it came time to narrow it down, it was my observation that it should be Strahan. It’s obvious what he’s done… Kelly is smiling.”
As for his new gig, Regis said he is thrilled to be making a comeback. His new show, “Rush Hour," will air weeknights from 5:00-6:00.

At the Grove
TV talk show host Regis Philbin stopped by The Grove to speak with "Extra" host Maria Menounos in his first interview since retiring from his hit morning show with Kelly Ripa.
Who does Reege think should replace him? "Everybody asks me that. Listen to this -- George Clooney!" he laughed. But in all seriousness, Philbin added, "Neil Patrick Harris always does a great job -- but he's got an enormous hit. They've got to find someone who has the time right now to do that. Neil was great and he will probably pinch hit, I'm sure. They have to keep looking around until they find someone that really appeals to Kelly... and then they'll go for it."
Menounos asked Regis what his Monday morning was like after his big farewell November 18. "I took a look at the show," laughed Philbin. "I love Jerry Seinfeld. I thought they looked great together, it was a good show."
