Live With Boiler and Radiator
A little while back on Live with Regis and Kelly, Regis Philbin was explaining to Kelly Ripa how once after the TV show, on a cold and dreary day in New York, he had been expecting the viewership numbers. It had been one of those days where the drizzle on the window panes makes you want to cozy up indoors with your favorite program.
Regis had been waiting for the phone call while sitting on an armchair right in front of what he called a heater; he explained also how the purring steam radiator was just so good at giving off so much of the good heat while everything else seemed so gray outside. He painted a wonderfully comfortable image of himself snuggling up to the heater.
Meanwhile, Michael Gelman, his producer, phoned in the results. Regis, on the other end of the line, was listening and listening and listening... until he fell asleep. The melting charm of the radiator had simply been too much.
Thank you Regis for such a heartwarming endorsement of steam heat and thank you for warming up our TV sets each and everyday.
The viewership numbers were fantastic - of course.
