Regis Philbin taking leave of absence for surgery
By Nellie Andreeva
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) � Regis Philbin will be taking a
leave of absence from his long-running ABC daytime talk show to
undergo a hip replacement surgery.
Philbin, 78, made the announcement Monday on "Live with Regis and
Kelly," which is broadcasting from Las Vegas this week.
"I've been limping around here; it really is painful," Regis said at
the end of the show's opening segment. His surgery is scheduled for
December 1, after the show's crew returns to New York.
Philbin didn't give a firm date for his return to the show, saying
only, "I'll be back next year."
Neither he nor co-host Kelly Ripa addressed who would be filling in
for Philbin while he is away. "Regis and Kelly" have often employed
guest co-hosts when one of the stars of the talk show is away.

Doesn't research show us that older people don't live any longer than
(((5))) years after a hip replacement surgery??? He's a goner. Face
it.
On a different note, I'm surprised Dick Clark is *still* with us!

They should make Kelly Lee go away too whenever Regis is gone.
Actually they should just make Kelly Lee go away.

It's the show 'Defiling Gravity' would be if DG had more regulars,
fewer abortions, worse writers, and no budget for lighting.
Remember, you can't spell "disgust" without SGU!

No. It probably shows us that older people who have had a hip
replacement on average only last about 5 years, but that's an average,
not a maximum. My grandmother had hers about 8 years ago now.
