David Letterman is actually going to appear on someone else's show. He'll be the first guest to welcome Regis Philbin back to television when he returns this Thursday.Reeg has been recovering from triple-bypass heart surgery for the last six weeks. Dave and Regis have always had some weird, sort-of love/hate relationship. When Dave has his own heart bypass surgery in 2000, Regis stepped in several times to host for him. Regis did the same when Letterman was out with the shingles in 2003.
Dave didn't step in to host with Regis, but that's probably a good thing because I think Dave would've killed Kelly Ripa on live television. And he doesn't exactly have a sunny disposition to match the cheerful morning show. According to his IMDB bio, the last time Dave was on Regis' show was in 2004 when Kathie Lee was still co-hosting.

I was gonna say...it feels like Kelly Ripa has been on the show way longer than 3 years.

Not much point highlighting errors in these blogs. I don't think the authors read any of the comments. I've never seen one reply to anything.

Dave was on in 2005, they did something stupid with have them "go out for supper" in the studio. Having a Steak Supper at 9:00am. It was Lame but at least Dave finally was on Regis and Kelly.

Classy move on David Letterman's part to help welcome Regis Philbin back on Regis and Kelly on Thurday. Regis did it for David several years ago. I couldn't imagine Dave being a co-host with Kelly Ripa. He'd say the most ridiculous things. That's why they have people the same age as Ripa and Gelman, that youthful 28-35-40 year old person to co-host Anyone else and it throws the show off balance.
