I guess ol' Reege is finally slowing down.Last year, when he hosted America's Got Talent, Regis Philbin was following a schedule that would tire out just about anyone, much less a 76-year-old (who, I must admit, is probably in much better physical shape than people half his age). Every week, he did his show with Kelly Ripa from his New York home base, then fly out to L.A. to do the weekend installments of Talent. That's a lot of flying, even if it's all in first class.
But no more. There were rumors floating around that Philbin wouldn't host the second season of the Simon Cowell-produced Talent, and those were confirmed today when schlockmeister and Dancing with the Stars reject Jerry Springer was named the show's host.
