I will always remember how much respect Regis Philbin showed to the wrestling world. I grew up watching Regis and Kathy Lee because that was my mom’s favorite show. Rest peacefully, Regis❤️ pic.twitter.com/nhRyK1E8as

What a class act.
I once fried Regis potatoes and onions on his show to promote one of our cookbooks.
He was also a big, Freddie Blassie fan. #RIPREGIS🙏 https://t.co/fEYNHZ2pgu— Jim Ross (@JRsBBQ) July 25, 2020
