Chris Stover

You see him at 9 a.m. on ABC.  You see him at Commerce Bank.  And you see him in your heart.

Apparently, according to this AP article, he’s the “happiest man in television.”  And at 76 years old and after almost 50 years on television, I’d say he has the right to that title.

Pay special attention to how the writer of the article emphasizes the crucial syllables of particular words, just as Regis said them.

Like him or hate him, you have to respect him.

One of the things I like most about the Reg is that he keeps on truckin’.  It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 10 years since he reformed game shows with Who Wants to be a Millionaire?.  I still remember the first millionaire, John Carpenter.  Call me a nerd.  But it’s true.

I respect Reg so much that he made my highly contested list of the 10 best game show hosts of all time, coming in at No. 9.

But since Millionaire, he’s filled in for Dick Clark on New Year’s Eve, he hosted the first season of America’s Got Talent, and now he’s going to host CBS’s version of Million Dollar Password.

He’s earned the title of living legend, beloved host and, most importantly, one of Cut to the Chase’s top 10.

When you’ve got it, you’ve got it.  And after 76 years, the Reg still got it.
