She also included an old photograph of her with Philbin and Seacrest. The two men wore black suits while Ripa wore a red dress. Behind them stood a Mickey Mouse character.

KELLY REVEALS WHY REGIS NEVER SPOKE TO HER ON SET

A few years ago, Ripa revealed an interesting fact about working with the legendary talk show host. According to her, Philbin refused to engage in any conversation with her on set.

"Regis had a mandate: Absolutely no talking off-camera," she told the New York Times. Ripa explained that Philbin insisted on saving everything for when the cameras began rolling. He would not even allow a "good morning."

OTHER MOMENTS IN REGIS'S LENGTHY CAREER

Philbin did not just star on live television. He had moments elsewhere in entertainment. For instance, he once appeared in an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" as himself. He had an exaggerated form of his personality.

Philbin was also a game show host on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in 1999. He made history when he gave John Carpenter the first-ever $1 million cash prize. Philbin's memory will forever live on.
