In a new interview with Larry King, talk show legend Regis Philbin admitted that Kelly Ripa hasn’t spoken to him since he retired six years ago from Live! The pair cohosted the show from 2001-2011.
“She got very offended when I left,” Philbin, 85, told King. “She thought I was leaving because of her. I was leaving because I was getting older, and it wasn’t right for me anymore.”
Philbin also mentioned that he has never once been asked to return to the show he made famous, though he spent 28 years of his career there.
“There are times when I really miss it, and wish I’d never stopped,” Philbin said.
