REGIS FLYING HIGH

If ratings are any indication, viewers seem to prefer Regis Philbin without Kathie Lee Gifford. For the week ending Nov. 12, Live with Regis — which continues to feature rotating co-hosts — posted a hefty 4.2 rating, a 14 percent jump from the previous week and a hefty 27% bounce from a year ago. In fact, Live finished second only to The Oprah Winfrey Show among all talk shows.
