Meanwhile, across town, circa 1967, outside the Hollywood Brown Derby, are Regis Philbin and Joey Bishop. Random, I know.

I was watching the Joey Bishop show the night Regis Philbin (his sidekick) came out and announced that he was quitting the show. This was back in the late 1960's. I guess some of the "suits" (right Malumot?) had let it be known that they thought Philbin was not carrying his weight and should be replaced. Bishop backed Regis, but he (Regis) was insulted and walked out right in the middle of the show.
I remember thinking at the time that Regis was kind of a stiff and was lucky to have the Joey Bishop gig. I thought he was the biggest fool in the world for quitting and would never get another job in show business.
Shows you what I know!
