My first ever internship was a gig at Live with Regis & Kelly, in Regis’ final season.
One day, his assistant called in sick, so I volunteered to help Regis with his morning routine. We spent the whole morning talking about the Knicks.

Every time he’d see me in the hall, he’d stop me to talk about the latest Knicks news (this was a summer internship)
fast forward a year after that, Regis gets his own sports show on fox sports

His assistant Amanda calls me, and tells me that Regis recommended me for one of the open positions.
His pitch to get me hired: “we need someone who knows sports and knows how to both root for and hate the knicks”

Every time Regis missed the game, he would call me into his green room to discuss while hand writing his monologue.
On my last day at the show, Regis gave me every handwritten monologue about the Knicks - with an extra note stating that he hops “they win in my lifetime”

I still have all the hand written notes too!
This is a pic from one of his last days as a host of Live. They really don’t make em like him anymore.
RIP Regis
