Did you know that before he became a famous television icon that Regis Philbin had a nightclub act? The Regis Philbin Christmas might help explain why he has succeeded in the TV branch of show business. With a little help from big bandleader Steve Tyrell on "Marshmallow World," his wife, Joy, and the (ubiquitous and annoying) Donald on "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" (of course Rudy gets hired, not fired), Philbin floats through 12 songs that are generally given a lush production sound. But there aren't enough charts or strings in all of five boroughs of Manhattan to mask that cheeky Bronx accent or Philbin
