In a sneak peek from ABC News’ upcoming 20/20 special on Philbin, the All My Children alum, 49, shared what she learned from him. “What I think my biggest takeaway from the 11 years that I shared with him was that you have to be yourself,” she explains. “You cannot be one person on camera and a different person once the light goes off or the audience is gone. You have to be who you are.”

Ripa also says in the clip how she was in disbelief upon hearing Philbin had died on Friday, July 24, saying: “That’s gotta be a mistake. That can’t be right. There was a moment where I had this incredible hope that it was somehow misreported.”

“We were all together when we heard this horrible news,” she said while getting teary-eyed. “As people get older, you always know that certain things are inevitable, and passing away is one of those things, but Regis is one of the people that we all believed would somehow figure out a way around the inevitable. It was not in the cards, I suppose.”

Seacrest, for his part, confessed that he “didn’t believe” Philbin had died despite receiving a text before the news was made public. The American Idol host also recalled looking up to the TV legend early in his own broadcasting career.

Us Weekly confirmed that Philbin died on Saturday, July 25, that Philbin died of natural causes at age 88. He is survived by his wife, Joy Philbin, and children Joanna, J.J. and Amy.

Regis Philbin: The Morning Maestro – A Special Edition of 20/20 airs on ABC Tuesday, July 28 at 8 p.m. ET.
