Producer Michael Davis considered both Montel Williams and Phil Donahue to host before the gig was handed to Regis
as for a UK Regis
I, d say it was either Nicholas Parsons David Frost or Des O Connor
And maybe Wogan considering the range of TV they each did
Wogan is a fair shout – other possibilities of a slightly younger generation would be Eammon Holmes or Phil Schofield given their combination of daytime TV and gameshows (although possibly not with the same humour). He was quite a force of nature though on the daytime live chatshow he hosted (which still goes on today)
