Regis Philbin is making his return to daytime television after leaving Live! in November after 28 seasons. Starting Monday, the 81-year-old television host will be joining celebrity chef Rachael Ray on her cooking program as a monthly celebrity guest.
“I can’t tell you how excited I am that Regis will be a recurring special guest on our show this season,” Rachael Ray released in a statement. “Regis has been a close friend of the show and a close friend of mine for years and it’ll be a blast having him on the team.”
The real question is can Regis Philbin cook?
“I can make a sandwich,” Philbin told USA Today. “Two pieces of bread and you lay a little cheese or something on there. Add some mustard. Bang! I’ve made some lunch!”
Hopefully Rachael doesn’t have Regis cooking crème brûlée anytime soon!
