We were quite surprised by this photo of Regis Philbin taken today as he arrived in Beverly Hills for lunch. He’s the male Jaclyn Smith! Jaclyn, the former Charlie’s Angel, looks astonishing for her age and Kathie Lee Gifford’s former partner on the Today show is looking every bit as amazing. He’s been on TV since the 60’s, but it’s hard to believe this man is 86 – no wonder Kathie Lee jokes about bringing him back.

Anderson Cooper bumped into Regis Philbin in front of the Reebok Gym in Manhattan and they were chatting when an eager young woman approached clutching a pen and paper. Regis stepped back, saying “I think someone wants your autograph, Anderson.” The girl said “I want YOURS, Mr Philbin. This is my first time in New York and I couldn’t get in for a taping of LIVE!” Regis was delighted, and after he signed the paper he suggested Anderson sign it. Regis pointed out to the girl “This is CNN’s Anderson Cooper.” The girl squealed and lifted her sweater and asked Cooper to sign her body! Regis laughed and called Anderson “A ROCKSTAR.” Modest Anderson agreed to sign the paper but not the skin.
