A career that has spanned decades. The thing this man has that most TV personalities don't have... is a real sense of humanity and reality when he speaks about his ordeals.

I agree with you, Chris.
He's genuine -- and it shows.
It's hard to fake it on TV. Regis comes through and reaches the viewers in a warm. personal and engaging way.
There are fewer and fewer like him.
His longevity on the tube is a testament to his humanity.
