President Donald Trump recalled Philbin's advice
to him once upon a time and offered his condolences to Philbin's wife,
Joy Philbin.
"One of the greats in the history of television, Regis Philbin has passed on to even greater airwaves, at 88. He was a fantastic person, and my friend. He kept telling me to run for President,"
President Donald Trump Tweeted. "Holds the record for “most live television”, and he did it well. Regis, we love you."

Lisa Rinna called Philbin a "great friend and mentor" and noted that she would never forget his "generosity of spirit."
She added: "You changed my life and I will never forget the lessons you taught me.
You showed me how to fly. May you Rest In Peace with the angels."
Former Disney CEO, Bob Iger, wrote that he was "heartbroken to hear that a long time colleague & friend, #regisphilbin passed away at the age of 88."

In 1964, Philbin took over the show that replaced The Steve Allen Show after Steve Allen left.
The audience did not accept Philbin as a replacement for Allen's zany antics and the appearance lasted only a little over four months because of dismal ratings, especially as compared to Johnny Carson in the same time slot.
Nevertheless, Philbin has cited Carson as an influence.
From 1975 to 1981, he co-hosted A.M. Los Angeles, a local morning talk show on KABC-TV, first with Sarah Purcell (1975 to 1978), then with Cyndy Garvey (1978 to 1981).
Regis Philbin's presence brought the show from the bottom of the local ratings to No. 1.
During the early 1970s, Regis Philbin also commuted each weekend to St. Louis, where he filmed Regis Philbin's Saturday Night in St. Louis
on KMOX-TV (now KMOV).
A 1978 book called The Great 1960s Quiz, authored by Dan Carlinsky (pub. Harper & Row), asked, "Who was Regis Philbin?"
The answer was "Joey Bishop's sidekick on his late night show."
Regis Philbin's seemingly trivial national media presence would soon be revived.
In 1981, Philbin and Mary Hart co-hosted a national morning variety series for NBC.
The show lasted 18 weeks.
After Garvey left Los Angeles in 1982 and moved to New York City, Regis Philbin rejoined her on The Morning Show, on WABC-TV.
At the time, the 9 am time slot for WABC suffered from low Nielsen ratings because of competition from WNBC-TV's Donahue and WCBS-TV's game show block featuring The Joker's Wild and Tic Tac Dough.
After Garvey left again and Ann Abernathy briefly shared co-hosting duties, Philbin was paired with Kathie Lee Johnson (later Gifford), in June 1985, and ratings improved significantly. The show became nationally syndicated in September 1988 as Live! with Regis and Kathie Lee and the success continued.
The program replaced A.M. Los Angeles upon its cancellation in 1991 and was eventually picked up by all of the ABC owned-and-operated stations except for WLS in Chicago, which aired The Oprah Winfrey Show in that time slot and had done so since the show's debut as A.M. Chicago.
In the 1980s, Regis Philbin hosted Lifestyles with Regis Philbin on the Lifetime television network.
When Gifford departed in 2000, the show was temporarily named Live! with Regis.
Regis Philbin had guest co-hosts until a replacement was found.
Regis Philbin won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 2001.
Kelly Ripa was chosen as the permanent co-host in 2001, and the show was renamed Live! with Regis and Kelly.
Their chemistry proved to be successful as the show continued to enjoy high ratings.
Regis Philbin set a Guinness World Record for "Most Hours on Camera" on his August 20, 2004, Live show (replacing Hugh Downs), which gave him a total of 15,188 hours on television.
On the September 14, 2006, episode of Live, his record was updated to 15,662 hours.
In 2008, Philbin's contract with ABC was renewed through 2011.
Under this contract, Philbin reportedly earned more than US $21 million per annum.
He received a similar contract with CBS for hosting Million Dollar Password.
It was announced on the September 17, 2009, episode of Live with Regis and Kelly during their World Record Breaker week, that Philbin's Guinness Book World Record for most time spent in front of a TV camera had reached 16,343 hours.

Regis Philbin was married twice and had four children. He was married to Catherine "Kay" Faylen, daughter of actor Frank Faylen, from 1955 to 1968, and they had a daughter, Amy, and a son, Daniel.
He married interior decorator Joy Senese in 1970 and they had two daughters, Joanna and Jennifer, known as J. J. Joy Philbin occasionally co-hosted with her husband Regis.
On Live, he often mentioned Joy, and to a lesser degree, Joanna, J. J., Amy, and Danny.
At the time of his death, Philbin resided in Manhattan, near the WABC-TV studios, and in Greenwich, Connecticut.
Regis Philbin followed the professional sports world extensively, enjoying baseball as well as football.
He was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and a proud supporter of the sports teams of his alma mater, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
Regis Philbin narrated the two audio CDs that accompanied Joe Garner's book, Echoes of Notre Dame Football: Great and Memorable Moments of the Fighting Irish, and was unwilling to waver even when St. John's basketball coach Steve Lavin asked Regis to trade his allegiance.
Regis Philbin played on the Notre Dame tennis team (putting his recent statements in an ad where he claimed to have learned tennis from second wife Joy, in doubt).
Notre Dame football coaches such as Charlie Weis, Tyrone Willingham, and Lou Holtz have appeared on Live. Along with being a Yankees fan, Regis was also "keeping an eye on the Florida Marlins."
On May 5, 2009, he delivered the first pitch at a Marlins game. He has also supported the Pittsburgh Pirates in his last years.
In March 1984, Philbin opened a Ford dealership in Gilbert, Arizona, as a side investment during his career in television. The dealership, Philbin Ford, suffered due to the already saturated auto market in the area, and was closed in late 1988.
He was known to have trouble handling new technology and was frequently confused when operating electronics
(such as remote controls and DVD players).
He did not usually use computers (although he did use one for an episode of Live during summer 2008, demonstrating how to find homes online) and did not own a cell phone until September 10, 2008. It is often noted, however, that Philbin did not completely reject the technology; he simply had Joy make calls and send e-mails for him.
On March 14, 2007, he underwent triple bypass surgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center because of plaque in his arteries.
Prior to the surgery, Philbin talked
with David Letterman, for whom Philbin had substituted on Late Show with David Letterman during Letterman's own quintuple bypass surgery.
Following Philbin's successful heart surgery, he returned to the show on April 26. On December 1, 2009, Philbin had hip-replacement surgery.
