Regis Philbin memoir expected this fall

NEW YORK

The 79-year-old retiring star has a new memoir coming out this fall. The publisher said Philbin reflects on his TV career in the still untitled book.

He discusses his co-hosts and the celebrities he has interviewed. In a statement released by the publisher, Philbin called the book a "valedictory" and a "personal thank-you," especially to his fans.

In January, Philbin has announced he will leave "LIVE! with Regis and Kelly" by the end of the year. His previous books include "I'm Only One Man" and "Who Wants to Be Me?"
