Regis Philbin, B&W

A shot I took of Regis Philbin when he was in Toronto for a book signing recently last year. It was in the evening, and the toll of the travel and the later hour was clearly beginning to get to him. He was very gracious with all of the fans who showed up, though, and his wit was much sharper when he was interacting with the crowd on the mic than it came across during his final year or so on television. A very funny, gracious man who can still work a crowd like he was back on The Joey Bishop Show.
