" Today on &amp;quot;Live with Regis &amp;amp;amp; Kelly,&amp;quot; Regis Philbin announced he is retiring after more than 40 years on television. &amp;quot;This will be my last year on this show \u2026 but there is a time, there is a time that everything needs to come to an end for certain people on camera, especially certain old people,&amp;quot; Philbin said with a teary-eyed Kelly Ripa sitting next to him. The show started as a local New York morning show in 1983. In 1985 Kathie Lee Gifford joined Philbin and in 1988 it debuted nationally as &amp;quot;Live with Regis &amp;amp;amp; Kathie Lee.&amp;quot; Gifford left in 2000 and Philbin&amp;#039;s current co-host, Kelly Ripa, has been on since 2001. The 77-year-old Philbin has had health problems in recent years, including triple-bypass surgery in 2007 and a hip replacement in 2009, reports MSNBC.com. - Alexandra Gekas, Associate Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
