Regis puts His Home on the Market

It seems the real estate market in Connecticut is a bit soft and former TV host Regis Philbin is about to take a bath on his Greenwich, Conn. home.

Philbin is listing the for $4.595 million, which is 36% less than he paid for it.

The Philbins have “acclimated to the market, as disappointing as it is,” said their listing agent Joseph Barbieri.

Mr. Philbin’s touch is evident in a wood-paneled study, which has a chair upholstered in the colors and logo of the University of Notre Dame, where Mr. Philbin is an alumnus. An album cover of Mr. Philbin’s record “It’s Time For Regis!” hangs on the game room wall, listing images show. These items are not included in the sale.

In a statement, Ms. Philbin said she and her husband are selling because they plan to spend more time with family in California. “We’ve moved around a lot and lived in many houses together but this house will always be our favorite,” she said. “We celebrated many birthdays and holidays and never had to worry about inviting too many of our family and friends. There was always room for everyone.”

Now retired, Mr. Philbin, 88, was the onetime host of “Live! With Regis and Kathie Lee,” which later became “Live! With Regis and Kelly.” He also hosted shows like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” and “America’s Got Talent.”

I’d buy it, but I’m about $4.594 million bucks short.
