Regis Philbin Reacts to Jackson and Fawcett Deaths

Talk show host, Regis Philbin, reacted to the deaths of both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson yesterday. 

According to Entertainment Tonight, Regis said (of Jackson’s death):  "It was a tremendous shock.  I know his health probably wasn’t the greatest but I didn’t expect him to go this soon… I remember him on the Joey Bishop show years ago, he must have been nine or 10 years old and I’ve been watching him ever since.  He came on the show and just electrified people. It’s a big loss."

Of Fawcett’s death to cancer yesterday, Regis added: "I interviewed her over the years.  She was a great beauty. She really hung in there and defied all the odds."

What a sad day in Hollywood.  I’m happy to see the outpouring of love and support, though.  How have you reacted to these celebrity deaths?  I couldn’t stop thinking about it all last night.
