Tom Hanks Video Offending Kelly Ripa, Says ‘Kathie Lee’ on Regis and Kelly Show

Wow. That is all I have to say. Tom Hanks, one of the most famous movie stars in the world comes onto the Regis and Kathy Lee… I mean, “Regis and Kelly Show” and accidentally references it by the old name. And Kelly sure does let him know about the mistake!

It isn’t like Tom Hanks meant to say “Kathie Lee,” or was poking fun at the morning show celeb. He was being as friendly and polite as ever, and telling a story – when he accidentally let slip the old title of the show, which featured Kathie Lee Gifford alongside Regis Philbin.

Hanks said, “You have the finger on the pulse of the media,” while complimenting the show. “It was at Live with Regis and Kathie Lee that I saw myself on the cover of TIME Magazine for the first time.” Kelly Ripa immediately gives a snippy reply, “It’s live with Regis and Kelly now… I’ve been here for 9 years now… it’s OK.”

I really don’t care for the way that Kelly responded to Tom Hank’s mistake. I think it was really rude, and disrespectful to the star that decided to come onto their show. Tom Hanks asked, “You’ve been on the show for 9 years?” Kelly Ripa responded, “9 years, but you’ll catch on eventually.” Then when discussing the Oscars from last year she says to Tom, “Oh, I guess… well, you didn’t win last year – right?”

  • I think he did it on purpose to get a rise out of her because he doesn't respect her. And it worked! Did you see how smart he was? Loved it! Go Tom!

  • Tom Hanks is an overinflated self absorbed ego who pretends to be Mr. Nice Guy but who could really care less about others who can't advance his particular agenda.
    Good for KELLY.

  • I met Tom Hanks when he was making Dragnet. I was with a bunch of kids from a religious school that helped special needs kids. They bought him a yo yo he came over too say thank you and ended up being so rude to the kids and stormed off saying to one little girl star struck by him saying "wow he's real" Hanks replied I don't have time for this and turned his back and walked away. I had to explain to the students he was just a rude man and I have no respect for this man I can't believe he had any respect after how he treated those kids. He is a good actor.

  • I thought she was rude. People do make mistakes after all. She could have corrected him and been kind at the same time.

  • There was nothing rude here! Tom made a (common) mistake, Kelly made a joke. C'mon people, freaking lighten up.

  • Wow. I didn't realize it's been nine years since I stopped watching Live with Regis. The day Kathy Lee left was the last time I watched an entire hour of that show. I hated that pinhead Gelman, and Krista Rippa is so dumb, she is sickening.

  • she is a total nobody. Unless you are unemployed you would would never know her name.

    who is she anyway?
    I love Tom Hanks. At least he earned a living besides sitting on a stool dangling his leg next to a has been day guy.

  • Good thing her Mr. Mom husband doesn't have such an ego problem. Maybe he should have her name imprinted on his wrist to remind himself to stay with her as she becomes more and more self absorbed.

  • I really doubt that tom was rude to kids. I think you are saying it's ok to be rude. Some example you are for those kids. It's a good time for her to be a role model for our young girls. Not try out for diva of the month. We need to be a little more mature for our children to follow in our footsteps. So shame on her expecally as a mom!
