with Regis and Kathie Lee.
Gifford and Philbin were what America woke up to Monday through Friday, and their rapport was something special.
Taking first toTwitterwith the simple but true statement, Gifford said only: “REGIS.
There will never be another.”
“There are no words to fully express the love I have for my precious friend, Regis.
I simply adored him and every day with him was a gift,” Giffordwrote on Instagramon July 25.
I smile knowing somewhere in Heaven, at this very moment, he’s making someone laugh.
There has never been anyone like him.
And there never will be."
One commenter wrote, “RIP, loved him especially when he was with you, Kathie Lee!
You, two, were magical together!”
The memories didn’t stop there.
“Beautiful,” another viewer wrote in response to Kathie Lee’s tribute.
“Together you were a joy to watch as I was beginning my family.
Thank you for the memories.”
Another commenter noted, “What a beautiful tribute.
I immediately thought of you when I saw the news.
You two had a special relationship.
I am so sorry for your loss.
He was one of a kind.”
“My first thoughts after hearing the news was for your loss of such a wonderful friendship!”
Another viewer might have summed it up best.
“I loved watching you and Regis together in the ’80s and ’90s,” they wrote.
“I always felt like I was having coffee with my friends while watching you.
You had such a special chemistry together.”
She invited them to lunch, and they had an amazing time together.
“We just had the best time,” she remembered.
Cause he was failing, I could tell."
