Regis Philbin says he will exit 'Live' on Nov. 18

NEW YORK (AP) - Regis Philbin says he'll retire from his talk show on November 18.

The veteran TV personality made the announcement on Tuesday's edition of "Live with Regis and Kelly" as it began its 24th season in national syndication.

Philbin announced last January that he planned to leave the show by year's end, but didn't specify a date. The show will continue with Kelly Ripa (RIH'-puh), who joined him as co-host a decade ago.

No new co-host has yet been chosen to team up with Ripa.

Philbin, who turned 80 last month, has been a TV fixture since the 1950s. A three-time Emmy Award winner, he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at the Daytime Emmy Awards in 2008.
