Talk show host Regis Philbin, at home recovering from a hip replacement, phoned in to the David Letterman show.
He helped Letterman out by reading the Top 10 list over the phone, which was aptly renamed “Top 10 Ways Regis is Passing the Time While Recovering from Hip Surgery”.
Philbin’s list included No. 10, It’s none of your damn business!, No. 9, Annoying the hell out of Joy, and No. 8, Watching movies on Lifetime and crying my eyes out.
On a rare serious note, Letterman asked Philbin which was more difficult, his recent hip surgery or an earlier heart operation. “Well, I tell you, the hip surprised me. I think the heart is probably more difficult, but the hip is holding its own, believe me.”
Philbin, who is on leave from his own talk show Live! with Regis and Kelly (Ripa) while he recuperates, said his leg “hurts like heck”, but that he was walking around with a cane and a bad limp, according to CBS.
