23 days

Minor television history will be made in 23 days when Regis calls it a morning and departs his signature show.  Clocks may stop for the occasion, but dogs won't shed a tear. There are no dog talk shows (see the joke coming like the stereotypical image formed at the thought of a person named Bernice Champagne) but there are talk shows that are dogs.  The 9 a.m. hour may never be the same, savor every minute before the grand finale.  Talent like Regis comes around once in a lifetime.  However, remember that just as Dick Clark beget Ryan Seacrest so too will Regis perpetuate onward in television eternity, just whom grasps the throne remains to be resolved at this point it's a toss up between Ty Burrell and Anderson Cooper.
