Regis Philbin taped a segment for the Late Show with David Letterman yesterday in a Manhattan alley. Things got a little crazy when the 80-year-old tipped over his new scooter while attempting to take a quick spin for the cameras.
David Letterman gifted Reege with the shiny red Vespa. Unfortunately the aging morning talk show host wasn’t able to keep his balance while traveling only a few feet. On the bright side, he was wearing a helmet and was none the worse for wear. A crew member gave Reg a hand to his feet as he laughed about the failed attempt.
Philbin appeared last night in an interview segment on ABC’s 20/20 with Katie Couric. His final appearance on Live! With Regis & Kelly airs Friday.
