David Letterman, who made a rare talk show appearance on "Live with Regis and Kelly" in 2004, will be the first guest to greet Regis Philbin when the host returns to the show after heart bypass surgery six weeks ago.
NEW YORK - David Letterman will be Regis Philbin’s first guest when he returns Thursday to “Live With Regis and Kelly” after having triple heart bypass surgery six weeks ago.
Philbin was a guest host on CBS’ “Late Show” after Letterman underwent heart bypass surgery in 2000. He also stepped in when Letterman was recovering from an eye infection in 2003.
“Very appropriate,” said “Live” co-host Kelly Ripa, who made the announcement Monday on the syndicated talk show.
Philbin, 75, has been at home recuperating since his surgery last month.
He has been a frequent guest on Letterman’s late-night show.
