TREBEK EXPLAINS FEUD WITH PHILBIN

Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek became a phone-a-friend to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host Regis Philbin after their recent "feud." Trebek, who twice refused to appear on ABC's smash hit — and then publicly mocked Millionaire for its "What color are Post-It notes?" questions — told the Toronto Sun that he phoned Philbin to make amends about his wisecracks. "You're getting a lot of mileage out of this," Trebek says he told Philbin, who had ribbed Trebek mercilessly on Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee. "We're just having fun," Trebek says Philbin told him. "It was completely blown out of proportion," Trebek says of the feud. "I was just good-naturedly poking fun at some of the questions on the show at an event in Atlanta. It's unfortunate that some people have said there's a feud," says Trebek. "I think if you see something in print, you should track it down and go to the source. I've always been accessible." — New York Post
