Because of this League of Themselves appearance, Regis can now be the link between 'How I Met Your Mother' and the following shows in which he also appeared as himself, but in a fictional setting (unlike his many game show/talk show credits):
"All My Children"
"One Life to Live"
"Primetime Glick" - Regis Philbin/Russell Crowe
"The Famous Jett Jackson" - New York
"LateLine" - Pearce on Conan
"Caroline in the City" - Caroline and the Sandwich
"Style and Substance" - A Recipe for Disaster
"Second Noah" - Diving In
"Soul Man - Grabbed by an Angel
Marry Me (1997 TV movie)
"The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" - I, Stank Hole in One
"Hope & Gloria" - Listen, Sister
"Women of the House" - Dear Diary
"The Cosby Mysteries" - Big Brother Is Watching
"The Larry Sanders Show" - Like No Business I Know
"Seinfeld" - The Opposite
[Now, it could also be that Reege was appearing as himself in the episode "The Chaperone", also from 1994. He did an uncredited voice-over as the Miss America Pageant announcer, but I think Regis himself would have taken that gig....]
"Kung Fu: The Legend Continues" - May I Ride with You
"Mad About You" - The Man Who Said Hello
[His wife Joy Philbin appeared with him also in that episode.]
"Number 96" - Chick Hits It Big
Regis also appeared as himself in other TV dimensions:
"Spin City"
- The Bone Collectors
- How to Bury a Millionaire
- Radio Daze
And in the Tooniverse, he connects these animated series:
"Lilo & Stitch: The Series" - Drowsy: Experiment #350
"The Simpsons"
"The Simpsons"
- Old Yeller Belly
- Treehouse of Horror IX
[Actually, in "Treehouse of Horror IX, Regis appeared live action, but a vortex in space brought him into contact with characters from the Tooniverse.]

"Family Guy" - Family Guy Viewer Mail #1
I think Regis qualifies for the mega-induction special for next year's anniversary of the TV Crossover Hall of Fame!
BCnU!
