Kelly Ripa is remembering her friend and former co-host, Regis Philbin. ❤️
, Ripa got emotional while speaking about the legendary TV icon, who died last Friday at the age of 88 from natural causes. Ripa co-hostedbegan Monday's show by explaining to viewers that it's been"a difficult and emotional day" for everyone at"Kelly, I know a tough weekend for you especially because you worked with our dear friend, a friend who passed away over the weekend, Regis Philbin," he said."I remember watching him as a child growing up.
Ripa told Seacrest that she heard the news over the weekend, while she was with her husband, Consuelos, and their three children. "He had this incredible partnership with Kathie Lee and of course his wife and daughters who are essentially my age," she added. "I'm one year older than them. We used to talk about what it was like to have a funny dad. My dad is funny, not Regis funny, but he's funny. Having a funny dad makes you funny. It just makes you funny. It makes you appreciate the ludicrous side of things.
"I think about them because they really from the ground floor built this show into what it is and what you and I try to carry on," she shared, speaking to Seacrest."I know from Regis and me working with you all these years, hosting the Disney Parade, we always looked at you -- you know, they don't make them like Regis anymore, and then here comes Ryan Seacrest and he says, 'That kid has it. He's got it. That thing you don't see anymore.
