Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Morning TV host Philbin's "anecdotography" was a PW bestseller for six weeks.
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Booklist

The irrepressible talk-show host here gives an account of his whirlwind activities over the course of a year in a diarylike format. Although at times it seems Philbin would have been better served by a more straightforward autobiography, since some of his best anecdotes are sandwiched in between his kvetching about his stomach troubles and his tennis game, there are still some great stories here. He talks about his idols Perry Como and Dean Martin, his ritual dinners with Charles Grodin and Jack Paar, why he walked off The Joey Bishop Show, and the origins of his mock feud with Gelman, his baby-faced producer. He also takes more than a few hilarious, merciless digs at cohost Kathie Lee Gifford. Walter Winchell once described Philbin as "show biz from head to toenails," and is he ever--brimming with sentiment and painfully sincere, he's also a hardworking trouper and a shameless name-dropper (it seems he's kept every friend he's ever made and mentions each and every one of them here). But hey, if Kathie Lee can make the best-seller list (I Can't Believe I Said That! [1992]), it'll be a cinch for Reege.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great, fun read!, October 11, 1999
By Patrice McInaw (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I'm Only One Man! (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I learned things about Regis that you won't learn by watching him on TV. I enjoyed reading about his trials and tribulations of his career, from his early days to the present. I have recommended this books to others. Whoever has my copy, please return it! This is one book you can read again.

4.0 out of 5 stars Funny and enlightening, May 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: I'm Only One Man! (Hardcover)
Reading this book is like sitting down with Regis and listening to him tell you stories. You will be able to look deeper into the man that engages in Host Chat with Kathie Lee everyday. This book is an example of how far Regis really came in life and how hard he had to work for it. This can almost be a self-help book in a way because it portrays the commitment to excellence put forth by Regis to achieve his dream....and did he ever!

3.0 out of 5 stars My thoughts refer to the unabridged audiobook, February 9, 2007
By Donna K. "bookcrosser" (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
Regis is one of my favorite celebrities! He is a down-to-earth family man who approaches life with good humor and a likeable manner. I enjoyed accompanying him as he talked through some typical days in his very busy life. Listening to him more than a decade after he shared these reflections gave the story an outdated feel, as a lot of the pop-culture personalities he mentions have disappeared from the scene, and the old-timers he reminisced about are way before my time. As well, now that he is paired with Kelly Ripa, he seems younger, hipper and more light-hearted than he was at the time he recorded this memoir. She brings out something special in him that Kathie Lee never did.

The book is a nice representation of the entertainment business and pop-culture, made all the better when expressed by a personable and respected celebrity like Regis.
