Jiminy Glick: Who were you idols as a kid?
Regis Philbin: Well, I loved Martin & Lewis.
Jiminy Glick: Martin & Lewis.
Regis Philbin: Yeah.
Jiminy Glick: Wh- Sherry Lewis.
Regis Philbin: No no no.
Jiminy Glick: ...And Ross Martin from "Wild, Wild West". I LOVED them! I loved them, because you never knew where they were gonna go. You did "Get Smart". Were you any good on it?
Regis Philbin: I just played a cook, as a matter of fact. They had a little- to this day, people still talk about the, uh, the scene where Don Adams played a little practical joke on me.
Jiminy Glick: Who's Don Adams?
Regis Philbin: He was the agent in "Get Smart".
Jiminy Glick: What's "Get Smart"?
Regis Philbin: [cracking up] "Get Smart" is the name of Ga- Don Adams's show!
Jiminy Glick: Oh, I'd love to see it. Go on.
Regis Philbin: Well, I was playing a baker, and everybody was suspicious of everybody...
Jiminy Glick: [interrupting] A baker, a baker of pies and breads?
Regis Philbin: A baker of pies and cakes, yes. And, uh...
Jiminy Glick: I love cake.
Regis Philbin: ...He set me up and then he hit me in the face with a cream pie.
Jiminy Glick: Who did?
Regis Philbin: ...Don Adams.
Jiminy Glick: He wasn't Edie Adams's sister, was he?
Regis Philbin: No, no no no. Edie Adams was married to Ernie Kovacs.
Jiminy Glick: I miss Ernie Kovacs.
Regis Philbin: So do I, so do we all.
Jiminy Glick: How come we don't hear from him so much?
[Regis uncomfortably lowers his head]
Jiminy Glick: It seems like he was so popular, then he just switched to William Morris or something, and you don't hear from him anymore.
Regis Philbin: Yeah, he...
Jiminy Glick: Why do people do that?
Regis Philbin: ...Unfortunately, was killed in an accident. A car accident.
Jiminy Glick: No. No. Don't tell me this. Stacy, why wasn't I told that Ernie Kovacs is gone? When I'm not told things like, then I look bad, then I look the fool in front of Regis Xavier Cugat Philbin, or whatever the hell his name is.
