Regis Philbin taking leave of absence for surgery

LOS ANGELES -- Regis Philbin will be taking a leave of absence from his long-running ABC daytime talk show to undergo a hip replacement surgery.

Philbin, 78, made the announcement Monday on “Live with Regis and Kelly,” which is broadcasting from Las Vegas this week.

“I've been limping around here; it really is painful,” Regis said at the end of the show's opening segment. His surgery is scheduled for December 1, after the show's crew returns to New York.

Philbin didn't give a firm date for his return to the show, saying only, “I'll be back next year.”
