Synopsis: Regis Philbin has been a familiar face on television since he performed on THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW in the 1960s.

Philbin also hosted the wildly successful game show WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE and one season of AMERICA'S GOT TALENT. In this warm and engaging memoir, Philbin shares showbiz anecdotes, inspiring life stories, and basic autobiographical information, with many capsulized "life lessons."
