It allows Fallon to bring out his own classic Philbin impression, and try to out-Reege the original.
He kicked off this interview by serenading Regis -- as Regis -- with a song filled with innuendo. But then, Philbin got serious, relating a story about just how important he's been to entertainment. Everyone knows his significance in television, but he has a strong film influence as well.

Philbin, 80, has been a ubiquitous presence on America's small screens for 50 years, from The Joey Bishop Show in the 1960s to millennial game show hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and holds the world record for most time on television, with approximately 17,000 hours.
This morning, surrounded by family, friends and crying admirers, including his Live with Regis and Kelly co-host Kelly Ripa, Philbin celebrated his final hour on the program with a joyful look back at his career -- sprinkled, as always, with Philbin's trademark spontaneous wit.
