It's March 14, here's your entertainment news in two minutes. Kathy Lee Gifford has shared touching memories of her longtime friend Regis Filvin, who passed away recently. The two co-hosted live with Regis and Kathy Lee for 15 years before she left the show. They stay close even after, living near each other in Greenwich, Connecticut. Gifford, now 72, moved to Tennessee in 2019 after leaving the today show. She still visited the East Coast every six weeks and may time for Filvin. Just two weeks before his death, they enjoyed a three hour lunch where she served all his favorite foods and they laughed non-stop. One morning back home, Gifford woke with a strong feeling she describes as guidance from God, urging her to get on a plane and head east right away. She sensed something was wrong with her old friend, even amid her busy writing and recording schedule for her new book. After learning of his passing, she rushed to see Filvin's wife Joy and their two daughters, bringing wine and food for comfort.

They had a heartfelt visit, cherishing the bond they all shared. Joy shared a private moment that stuck with Gifford forever. She said the last time she heard Regis laugh like that was during his lunch with Kathy Lee. It's a sweet reminder of their enduring friendship. A message from our sponsor supports today's story.
