RIP Regis. Toughpigs even made an article memorializing him, including a clip from an appearance by Piggy on Live, as well as the aforementioned Millionaire appearance.
These days, Toughpigs tends to do articles on the death of pretty much every celebrity who has worked with the Muppets before.
It said in that article that Regis Philbin holds the world record for appearing in the most hours of television. I wonder how that could really be proven (and does it include total screentime - which might be harder to determine than the number of episodes of shows he's been on)?
This is a topic for a different thread, but learning that Philbin has been in the most hours of television makes me wonder which Sesame Street cast member has been in the highest amount of episodes in new material (whether it's a street scene or insert, as long as it's the first appearance of a scene in an episode). And that's likely hard to determine, especially since Muppet Wiki still hasn't completed every Sesame Street guide (and it wasn;t until a few years ago that we learned that the wiki will soon have all the episode info).
