So...

I was watching some reruns of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," and I've been wondering if anyone else has ever had the urge to slap Regis Philbin. He's so friggin' fake!

For example,

Regis: And we also have Jake's mother with us, how are you doing today?
Jake's Mother: Great, Regis, and you?
Regis: Let's play!

That didn't actually happen, but his fakeness is just so overwhelming.

Yeah. </random>

Regis Philbin is a freakin' robot.

I like him as a host. if you saw something like that, it's less to do with who the people are and more to do with editing the show to fit into it's time slot.

I like Regis, even if he's a little "out of touch"

Methinks he should go munch-munch on Kelly tho. I would.

the nice thing about regis is that you KNEW that there was no way he knew the answer so he couldn't give it away to the player.

that's about the only positive thing i can say about him. can't stand that guy.

intelligent, fine, but i'll bet that 80% of the questions north of $1000 he had no idea about. and that's a good thing, it makes him the perfect host.

factual knowledge vs. intelligence. come get me.
