Sure, heβs an excitable guy. Sure, he loves to complain. But Regis Philbin loves life . . . and with the wildly unpredictable one heβs led so far, who wouldnβt? After five decades in show businessβand nearly 17,000 unforgettable hours on televisionβhe has a lifetimeβs worth of stories to share.
In this entertaining memoir, the irrepressible Reegeβconsummate talk-show host, man-about-town, loving husband, father, and yes, obsessive sports fanβlooks back at his years in show business. How I Got This Way is filled with stories of lessons learnedβand elbows rubbedβwith 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 βPippaβ Ripa; as well as his own lovely wife, Joyβto name just a few.
Whether heβs revealing what really drove him βbonkersβ 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 guysβ 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.
