NEW YORK -- For such a famously excitable guy, Regis Philbin made his big announcement with surprising calm: He's retiring from his show. Philbin delivered the news at the start of Tuesday morning's "Live With Regis and Kelly," which he has hosted for more than a quarter-century, most recently sharing hosting duties with Kelly Ripa. He said he would be stepping down from the show around the end of the summer.
