"Although he’s been off the radar of late, Regis Philbin, 86, is “the most spry he’s been in a while,” said a source who spotted him on a double date.
We’re told the TV vet was the “life of the party” at “Table 1” at Fresco by Scotto Tuesday night.
“He had a pep in his step,” the spy said. “He was cracking old jokes and had a lot of energy.”
He even gave his opinion on Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest — hosts of “Live!” in which he starred with Kathie Lee Gifford and later Ripa.
“He said they have great chemistry,” the source related.
Philbin and wife, Joy. were on a double date with Henry and Peggy Schleiff.
Members of the famed Scotto family popped over to gab.
We hear Philbin’s been splitting time between NYC and LA. Meanwhile, Ripa was spotted at a Bridgehampton launch of LTD by Lizzie Tisch — along with guests including Sarah Jessica Parker, Jane Krakowski, Joseph Altuzarra, Alina Cho, Robert Verdi and Cinema Society whiz Andrew Saffir.
The work of pop artist Ashley Longshore was shown at the event, including larger-than-life pearls, lollipops and lipsticks."
