Sure, he’s an excitable guy. Sure, he loves to
complain. But Regis Philbin loves life . . . and with
the wildly unpredictable one he’s led so far, who wouldn’t?
After five decades in show business—and nearly 17,000
unforgettable hours on television—he has a lifetime’s worth
of stories to share.
In this entertaining memoir, the irrepressible
Reege—consummate talk-show host, man-about-town, loving
husband, father, and yes, obsessive sports fan—looks back at
his years in show business. How I Got This Way is
filled with stories of lessons learned—and elbows
rubbed—with extraordinary, and often unsuspecting, teachers:
David Letterman; Donald Trump; George Clooney; Howard Stern;
Jack Nicholson; legendary Notre Dame coaches Frank Leahy,
Ara Parseghian, and Lou Holtz; and, of course, longtime
cohosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Kelly “Pippa” Ripa; as well
as his own lovely wife, Joy—to name just a few.
Whether he’s revealing what really drove him “bonkers” on
the set of Seinfeld, how he survived the first known
bomb scare on live TV, what Jack Nicholson said about his
beautiful leading ladies during their guys’ night out
together, or poignant memories of his last moments with his
idol and dear friend, Jack Paar, Regis packs every page with
his signature heart, wit, dynamic energy, and gratitude for
everything life has brought him.
