ratings year
They could have had Regis back this year if they wanted. Ratings were pretty high.
years done lasts
So when I got the chance to do my first talk show, 50 years ago last month, I never had any writers. There was no budget - it was just me and the camera and my friend who was the director. I talked about what I'd done that week.
thinking years numbers
I gotta tell you, right at the top of my list would be taking vitamins. I know that over the years doctors have said they're ridiculous and all that. But I started taking my vitamins at an early age. And I take them every day. Every bloody day! So I think that's number one. For whatever reason, I feel active and pretty good at my age.
struggle years upset
I had my years of struggling. Some of my shows failed miserably, and I was upset by it and it dented my confidence. But I never stopped. I kept going for it.
opportunity two years
I missed so many opportunities along the way to do what I wanted to do because I didn't have the confidence to tell myself, much less anybody else, 'Yes, this is the business I wanted to be a part of, and not feeling that I had the talent... and letting it go all the way through Notre Dame and then through two years of Navy service.
couple farewell years
I've worked for 55 years. I'm going to take a little time off, to tell you the truth. It's just that now in the last couple of weeks, Gelman is pouring it on. 'Farewell to Regis!' It's getting embarrassing.
years work-out feelings
I try to stay in shape, I work out in the gym, take my vitamins every day, and I guess maybe I have some good genes, but lately Ive been feeling it. You know, after all these years it does catch up with you. But just for now.
call certain decisions nation period personal responsibility usher
I'm going to call upon the nation to usher in a period of personal responsibility. I want each and every American to know for certain that I'm responsible for the decisions I make and each of you are as well.
answer later regret
Those who just blurt out an answer and then later regret it.
sitting
Oh, boy. That's going to be a lot of fun, sitting down and get that thing done.

It's my favorite awards show, because it's about people who are helping people.

He's still my best friend. It's just business.

He gave Oprah a kiss, but he wore my shirt and tie.

My network needs me! I'm there. 'This Is Your Life' was always one of my favorite shows.
