The Regis Philbin Wave of Mutilation Continues

Last week the Regis Philbin runaway train barreled through Meryl Streep, nearly sending her into cardiac arrest when Reege mistakenly informed Streep that her daughter had broken her leg (Just a little error reading the cue card.  NBD.  She’s only the daughter of Oscar Royalty.  Relaaaaax).

Now Reege has once again turned the knife onto himself, as he’ll undergo hip replacement surgery on December 1, followed by a four to six-week recovery and absence from Live!

And now I feel kinda bad.  Like it was our constant warnings that Reege is a loose cannon and is a danger to himself and others that caused the need surgery.  Can’t help but feel somewhat responsible.

Plus, it’s boring without Reege.  Now I’ll have no reason to tune into the show.  Unless, of course, Anderson Cooper guest hosts, because that guy goes Eddie  Murphy Raw when he’s freed from the shackles of prime time cable news into the anything goes of world of syndicated morning television.  No other CNN personality with evidently limited knowledge of popular culture can eviscerate the Lohan family like Anderson Cooper.
