Regis…The San Diego Days
This is ‘The Regis Philbin Show’, his first hosting job at KOGO (now KGTV) that was on the air from ’61 till ’64. For budgetary reasons, he had no writing staff, leading him to begin each show with what has become his hallmark, the “host chat” segment which was influenced by Jack Paar. Infamous wrestler Freddie Blassie was a frequent guest on the KOGO show. Regis gained his first national exposure in 1967 as Joey Bishop’s sidekick on The Joey Bishop Show on ABC from 1967–1969.
