Regis Philbin just finished his last "Live" show after 28 years on the air -- and it was a pretty emotional hour.
The audience was packed with familiar faces including Donald Trump, Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Tony Danza -- who shouted "We love you, Regis!"
Regis was given the Key to the City by Mayor Bloomberg, his wife and children made pre-packaged tributes, the cast of "Rent" performed a re-worked version of "Seasons of Love" and Kelly Ripa made a touching speech about her co-star -- watch that below.
Reeg closed the show with his own personal goodbye:
"28 and a half years and we've had a wonderful show and a great time ... I'll always remember spending these mornings with all of you. Thank you very much for these great years together, God bless you all and I hope I see you again real soon."
@ Mebrat, Manda and Dawnmarie... Maybe 20 million isn't enough for him. But on a serious note, I enjoyed watching Regis on Live and I wish him much happiness and continued success in his life and with his health.
MEHHH... IT'S TIME FOR A YOUNGER DUDE WHO ISNT SUFFERING FROM DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMERS. PHILBIN WAS LOSING HIS MEMORY AND SUFFERED SPEECH DEFECTS DURING HIS LAST 2-3 YRS. IT'S TO GO TO THE PASTURE AND SIT FACING YOUR CONDO WALL EVERY DAY. BA-BYEEEE!!!!! TRUTH.
