Regis Philbin watches Democracy Now!

[kornpone]

Philbin's a lot more serious than he lets on. Back in the '70's he hosted a local talk show in L.A. called "Philbin's People" which was very political. People like Jane Fonda and William F. Buckley were frequent guests, and the topics were always on social issues, not just your normal talk show gossip and chit chat.

[MrRich253]

Wow, they had a real moment of clarity there.

[christvbible]

When other TV networks attack people like Amy Goodman you know this means 'they' take her seriously. Its all done in bad taste but the flipside is that Amy gets free publicity which is an irony that evolves from the general insecurity felt by corporate loving media puppets who are losing viewers and gaining cabbages

[TheGardenStater]

@christvbible I don't think it was in bad taste or an attack at all. Regis plugged her television show and radio show and pointed viewers to where they can catch it. I think they were being honest about their admission that their show is really about nothing.

Still though, who doesn't love cute puppies. :)

[AresRoar]

Well done Regis.

Amy is one of the few real journalists left.

[sk8tafrnk]

@AresRoar It's disgusting how they're proud they don't talk about jack shit on this show.

[docmalthus]

Seinfeld should sue...

This is the show about Nothing.

At least they admit it.

[kornpone]

Nice that he would plug Democracy Now! but it's too bad he can't get his facts straight. Democracy Now! is on Pacifica Radio, not PBS. It looks like Regis barely knows what PBS is ("does PBS have radio too?") let alone that something called Pacifica Radio even exists.

[joshgodawful]

@kornpone Amly Goodman herself consistently mentions that Democracy Now! appears on PBS stations, as it's a TV show as well as a radio show, and my friends from other states confirm. I get the show on FreeSpechTV. See Democracynowdotorg if you don't have a local source for the filmed version.

[oik2]

hilarious

[PapGripDezi]

amy rules! so does DN!

[zee687]

what a tard

[dancebaby808]

i can't believe Regis didn't know who Amy Goodman was until he met her at Donahue's dinner -- pathetic!

[amet1980]

...and they say euthanasia is immorall..

[dancebaby808]

I'm curious to know what Regis and Amy Goodman talked about at Donahue's home.

[Nostatementinthename]

Holy shit. This is... is this? what the hell is that?

[applaya]

Who watches this show?

[S2Cents]

I like how he's 'acting' or portraying himself as a fool. He's being funny playing it like he is this silly entertainer that just got a dose of reality and it was a powerful experience for him. But he really IS just a silly TV clown that inhabits a silly, fake TV persona in the TV fantasy, talk show, entertainment industry world.

[brych2001]

Regis and that blond bimbo are excellent examples of intelligent design. What a stupid show. Why on earth would the great Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! want either of these two fools on the show. Neither would have a clue!

[emerpus01]

He plugged her name and the name of her show several times on his network TV show, which is watched by an audience of millions who would probably not hear of Amy otherwise. This isn't a political show - it's celebrities and cooking and cute puppies, but both hosts went out of their way to mention Amy Goodman and say that they'll be checking out her program. That's a win for everyone.

[14rondy]

People Should study their constitution nowhere in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights is the word DEMOCRACY we are a REPUBLIC you DUMMIES our founding fathers FEARED Democracy thats why we have a Republic. and to the "Republic for which it stands"or was it supposed to be The Battle Hymn of the Democracy?

[TheOldNihilist]

Yeah if you read your consitution you will also find that there is a law called "Posse Comitatus" and that our local law enforcement is technically not allowed to run around behaving like soldiers carrying machine guns. That no miliatry can carry out law enforcement in America without breaking that law.But thanks to the Bush/Republican administration the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 has already been undermined by 32 CFR 501.4. and now law enforcement are machine gun toting thugs disarming us

[maitlanr]

slow clap for you sir!

[TheOldNihilist]

maitlanr:

(Strangles your mother with her own instestines.)

[TheOldNihilist]

Thanks Republicans!!

Well done!

Fucking loser!

[mjalloxxxx]

the constitution is just a piece of paper.

[halburd1]

[halburd1]

[halburd1]

i bet you were raped by an animal probably a rabbit and from then on you loved animals you sick fool. stop pretending you like women

[halburd1]

its time you stop pretending to be a man and admit your a ladyboy.

[halburd1]

[halburd1]

[xicanastyles]

Genocide in East Timor, Darfur, Pakistan, Gaza...

There are mass murders going on. HAARP is underway. The US is becoming a Police State. American's are subjected to propaganda & mind numbing material controlled by the CFR. The Federal Reserve has been stealing your money for years & is increasing the National Debt ["stimulus"].

Question what is that you've been told.

Do your own research, use alternate medias.

[erby1kabogey9]

Nice for Regis to admit his entire show is about nothing just like 99% of the shows on TV!

[healars]

How cute! At least they know their place within the media...and it's pretty endearing that they up and plugged Democracy Now!

[Peter7Paul]

What the hell is he talking about, I think Kelly is confused too.

[mindrunfree]

I love you guys. I'm a heady person, but my heart loves you!

[shudderbug]

1. I don't live in an asylum.

2. Why are you curious?

[shudderbug]

You have found your place in your asylum. Enjoy it.

[shudderbug]

No. I am not a prude, I've heard all of this language before, but your comment was uncalled for. If you were talking to her in person, would you say that?

[shudderbug]

peopleasylum:I was referring to your crude, vulgar, no class earlier comment

[halburd1]

yes asylum is a complete moron your right

[halburd1]

dont worry about that little retard. he makes apoint of being an ass to piss people off he jokes about it on his homepage. he is a little racist evil troll. a bunch of us have decided to give him a hard time wherever he comments and to report his racist rants to you tube.

join in the fun if you want.

for one thing he thinks asians and blacks are a virus that needs eleminating.

[shudderbug]

peopleasylum: I would expect a comment such as yours from a person who identifies himself as "peopleasylum."

[Catthief6418]

We all love ya Regis but did you go to Nam

[Neurolanis]

Hilarious, Gesis being honest.. lol.

[crock703]

Man, Kelly is phoney

[cheapy2006]

jesus, what a bimbo!!

[boboreese]

they look like they're going to snap under the weight of their own shame.

hilarious!

[allthings509]

Hmmm.. but why did he plug Agent Goodman?

[crock703]

AND the Beautiful Baby contest......

NWO jewery fed reserve banking Illuminati globalist communist liberal-media satanic secularist baby-pageantarian conspiracy, THAT'S why.

[KateAnneNYC]

Bread and circus vs real journalism. At least Regis plugged Amy Goodman -- now let's hope some of the viewers tuned her in. Now if Regis could get Amy on the Sunday news shows.....

[CityzenJane]

CLASSIC

"does PBS have a radio..to..Joey Bishop!!!???

[mcalien24]

well at least they admit it

[mcalien24]

well at least they admit it

[hedgewan]

American guns steer the world really. Our currency is worthless, Our bonds are worthless, we pretty much force other countries to give us money and resorces at nukepoint. If it weren't for our military we would be in very sad shap right now. We need to get our industry back and start making an honest living in the world again.

[PeteMaine]

This ignorant view is a perfect example of why the new superpowers will be India and China. America runs the world and we have military spanning the world, but could the average American invest some time in being educated about the world? F@#K NO! We are becoming a country of retards (read about the fall of the Roman Empire and you will see our where the U.S. is headed.)

[producer007]

wow!! That Kelly is a real airhead!!!!!

[Goodyerin]

LOLz

[itsacorporatething]

whats goodman doing at some modern day aristocrat dinner party?

[yotoamj7]

In the News...

Tigers escaping from the zoo and ignorance almost escaping from the heads of some "tv people"... What in the hell is the world coming to!

*Please don't feed the morons. Cancel tv.

[drjenny]

we could like... make world even shirt out of our media waste...for like one of those...umm...PBS stations

[knightflyte]

Regis is feeling a bit inadequate. I think he needs ENZYTE.

[o0xst]

some day, Iraq can have shows like this (Regis)!  burp!!!! pass the cheeseburgers and sCratch 'n win lottery cards!!!

[timmunozlasvegas]

WOW, that was brutal. You do realize most Americans do work. You do realize that we're the richest nation on the planet. You do realize that our (American) economy steers the world.

[o0xst]

Hey aren't you supposed to be up at the Megachurch, helping decide whether to get the x-treme youth group xbox360s or ps3s?

[timmunozlasvegas]

Actually, I was hoping that you'd write me. I really need your help. See, I can't get your mother out of my bed. I already paid her, and she just will not leave. For some reason, she just can't get enough (if you know what I mean?) I know you're use to getting her out of tricks houses, but this time I need your help.

[tibaby2010]

wow you're lame.

[canice123]

Amy Goodman 90.7FM on KTLK Listen to her Mon-Friday 6am-7am. Thank God for real conversations.

[commodore2468]

Wow, Kelly looks astoundingly stupid. I know that sounds mean, but...

[bushputz]

Mean - maybe.

Accurate - definitely

[colibri1]

At least she's aware that her show is shallow and at least she's open to knowing about Amy Goodman, not like the legions of right-wingers who have preconceived antagonism toward shows like Democracy Now. I can't imagine one of the Fox "News" Barbie doll cohosts being this open about their ignorance.

[mooneez]

Fucking Hilarious

[timmunozlasvegas]

Wow, it's impressive how you people can turn this into some type of political statement on the "dumbing-down" of Ameican(s). The simple fact is that Regis ,and this girl are entertainers, and all they were trying to say is that they are a different type of media, and that the realize that they (Regis, and Kathy) are just that - "The weak-link" in the media spectrium. That's all this is. Calling a spade a spade. Simple.

[yotoamj7]

Being (or acting) stupid in a free society is funny when its once in a while. This show is on every day. That's called "conditioning".

[timmunozlasvegas]

I do not think that "Regis & Kathy Lee" is some form of litmus test pertaining to the "conditioning" of anything other than entertainment. I think you're mistaking Americans for the Brits!

[straightchris]

I phoned the Vanessa Feltz show on BBC Radio London and mentioned Amy Goodman; but I fear it's wasted on stubborn bitches like Vanessa who regurgitate fluff from "The Daily (Hate) Mail", a the Nazi paper in the UK read by bitter women.

[colonspazm]

Glad he plugged Democracy Now, but this is SO pathetic! Note the American flag FRONT and CENTER: seemed to make a statement about the deliberate dumbing down of our population, who not coincidentally are always, ALWAYS referred to as CONSUMERS, not citizens.

[thailerZAP]

I have a lot more respect for regis now. This was his way to plug Democracy now. Kelly was just getting in the way.

ps. "Does PBS have a radio thing?" haahahahaha

[lapalmaisla]

I cannot watch Regis because it is intent for the most illiterate part of America. The only thing these group wants is enetertainment about nothing to keep their brains frying and do not think what happen to our country while Regis is keeping you busy with non-sense. So, America wake up and listen to Amy Goodman and tell Regis to change his show to something more updated to the country problems we all experience.

[Tcat36]

Seriously, some people take their politics waaaaay too seriously. Not everyone wants to spend every second of the day pontificating the trials and tribulations of the world. Sometimes we just want to laugh. Besides, there are enough talking heads in this country telling us what to think, we definitely don't need another one. I say, "Yeah for Regis and Kelly".

[Ironskillet]

Sure yeah, but dang, that was funny!! Try to take some joy out of life, eh? Even if it is at the ignorance of others. It keeps you from crying.

[o0xst]

yay! love it!!! way to go Amy!!!! I love how the blonde girl says "OH MY GOSH!" when regis says "she covers global events..."

hah! goodtimes

[alrozz]

Kelly and Regis work very hard to do this show and they have my vote any day. Inoticed that Kelly has a head shaped like a praying mantis...lol

[homeborn]

This blond is so dumb but she has a really hot pussy

[bregshivaffxi]

pffrt, politics is not everything in this country. I find this show refreshingly devoid of it. In a world of know-it-all libs, an empathetic media, and conservatives who get persecuted for having a backbone, it's nice to tune in and just enjoy regis supporting the fine arts. In fact, with so much polarization, it's probably quite smart to be really neutral and avoid politics altogether. I wish more ppl who think they know everything would abstain.

[tommytommy2020]

Yes, how DARE "the media" be empathetic! Not that the corporate media is empathetic--where, for instance, is the "labor hour"? Shows that really help us get to know and understand the homeless? Or what life is like for people who work three jobs but still have to live out of their cars? Showing that, instead of lifestyles of the rich and selfish, would make the media more empathetic.

[TrueLeadership]

Excellent! We shall overcome. It happens by degrees, it's a sea change, but the shell is cracking.  Rove is on the run from contempt of congress, Wexler is stepping up impeachment, CIA torture is back in the news, Viva La Revolution!

[ToddonCapeCod]

Dream on

[n172ar]

It's not just sad, Regis, it's pathetic.

[deadcustodian]

These two should listen to Amy daily and join the "Pitchforks and Torches Society' and find out what is really going on this country!!!

[deadcustodian]

These two should listen to Amy daily and join the "Pitchforks and Torches Society' and find out what is really going on this country!!!

[britoca]

I love you AMYYYYYY!!!!!! Keep up the good fight!

[jfabiani]

Watch her show Regis!

[moabmusic]

Amy should have Regis on her show! This is not just inane, hilarious and sad, these two should get some award for humiliating honesty. Regis plans to watch Democracy Now, but maybe he should step up slowly and watch Jim Lehrer first. I can't believe the Daily Show is missing this...

[GregPalastOffice]

wtf... never thought I would see this...

[eustatic]

this is so surreal.

[bushputz]

Definitely from the shallow end of the gene pool.

[bushputz]

Weak link? Intellectually, you two are closer to being missing links

[britoca]

more like a rusty broken chain...
