Why was I more emotional than Regis Philbin on his last show? Well, he has had a wonderful career and life and is loved by many. I wasn't a total wreck, but I was about on par with Kelly Ripa - and she's getting the whole show!
I met Regis and Kathie Lee many years ago when a friend and I went to their show. They stood on stage after the show and greeted and signed autographs for anyone in the audience who wanted. I had Kathie Lee sign - a baby picture of my Ashley. Lori (my friend) had Regis sign my Amanda's picture. (We had no paper with us at all - it's what was in my wallet).
And I still like Kathie Lee. I love her album that I still listen to. She seems kind. And Regis seemed like what you see is what you get. A nice man.
Television has often made me cry. When Gary got killed on "Thirtysomething", I didn't sleep that night. I also cried when Boner joined the service on "Growing Pains". And I am a mess on the final episode of any show; even if I never really watched it alot, tell me it's over and I'm there. Then I curse that I didn't watch it enough.
A lot like life - appreciate it when it's here - not when it's ending!!
