Regis and Kelly taping at Encore
Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa will be warming up Garth Brooks' new home.
"Live! With Regis & Kelly" has scheduled a four-show visit Nov. 22-23 at the Encore Theatre at Wynn Las Vegas. That's less than three weeks before Brooks' Dec. 11 debut in the same theater.
The TV co-hosts announced the tapings during Thursday's show.
Look for Kelly to track down the wedding chapel where she and Mark Consuelo, then co-stars on "All My Children," got hitched here on May 1, 1996. Like a lot of newlyweds who don't remember where they got married in Vegas, she refers to it as the "Chapel of Cheese."
They will tape at 11 a.m. Nov. 22, a Sunday, and again at 1:30 p.m. The next day, the tapings are again at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Ticket information is at https://register.go.com/regisandkelly/tickets/index.
Tickets for Brooks' first batch of shows go on sale Saturday at www.wynnlasvegas.com/boxoffice.
