Regis: As Hercules he saved the world. As Captain Dylan Hunt in the popular series Andromeda, he's out to save the entire universe. He can't get enough. Here's Kevin Sorbo.
[Cheers and applause]
Kevin: How are you?
Regis: How are you?
Kevin: Good good to see you.
Kelly: Good to see you.
Regis: Holy cow. Look at him.
Kevin: Happy new year to you.
Regis: Happy new year. Good luck at saving the universe.
Kevin: We actually -- it is doing well. We got picked up for a fifth year. Lucky. Seven years on "Hercules" and five years on this one.
Regis: Mr. Syndication.
Kevin: That's right.
Regis: You are in town with a beard to do a special assignment. Right? He's going to be a guest on "Hope & Faith". As a matter of fact, these two are going to be romantically linked.
Kelly: That's right.
Regis: On the show.
[Applause]
Kelly: I do what I have to do.
Kevin: I grow a bad beard. They wanted me to get scruffy because the first scene that's how I look when we meet. I will shave.
Regis: Are you playing yourself, a television star?
Kevin: No. I'm playing Charlie who is Mr. McGinley's character on the show, an old college buddy.
Regis: Ted's best buddy.
Kelly: He does good for the universe.
Kevin: I'm a dentist and I'm with Doctors Without Borders and stationed in a far, far away location and show up looking like this.
Regis: You show up in Ohio looking like that. You take a look at this over here [points to Kelly].
Kevin: It is a very funny script.
Kelly: I fall in love with him and I decide I'm going to move to Africa with him and help other people. Which because you know my character is completely self-obsessed.
Regis: No. Where did they get that idea?
Kelly: I decided I would move to Africa.
Kevin: We make out the entire episode.
Regis: Really?
Kelly: Let me get another breath mint.
Regis: Do you two kiss?
Kelly: Constantly.
Regis: Passionately?
Kelly: Yes.
Kevin: I think we have to. I think it is part of the character development.
Kelly: It is in my contract, as a matter of fact.
Regis: So you do kiss.
Kelly: Yeah. We kiss.
Regis: Long and intense kisses?
Kelly: Long, intense kisses.
Kevin: We don't get a Hummer like -- you beat me to the punch line. I wanted to ask about that commercial so bad.
Regis: You have seen it?
Kevin: Yeah. Her voice, is --
Regis: She's from Brazil. She is a hot Brazilian model.
Kevin: When she speaks, it is scary. I thought it was reverse sort of like the transvestite picking you up.
Regis: Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr. Universe. Take it easy.
Kevin: It is an interesting commercial.
Regis: Very interesting. There's a lot going you have to read into.
Kelly: Do you think that's a transvestite?
Regis: Please.
Kelly: That never occurred to me.
Kevin: You have to hear the voice.
Regis: She has a husky Brazilian -- hot Brazilian model's voice. I love off-road.
Kevin: That's good.
Kelly: Speaking of hot women, isn't today your wedding anniversary?
Kevin: It is my wedding anniversary. Thank you very much.
Regis: Number?
Kevin: Number six.
Kelly: Congratulations.
Regis: You have two little Sorbos.
Kevin: We have another boy on the way. We like to find these things out. Six years that's like the silver anniversary in Hollywood.
Kelly: That's true.
Kevin: One year away from itching, I understand. I haven't had that happen.
Regis: We'll take a break and come back with kevin in just a moment.

Kevin: He hasn't done a great job.
Regis: What's going on that we should know about?
Kevin: A lot of bad things are happening, Reege.

Kevin: You are safe on earth. Earth during this century is a big puddle of muck.
Regis: What century are we talking about?
Kevin: 9,000 years from now. [Wrong but who's gonna tell Kevin that? ;) ]
Regis: Oh, from now.
Kelly: I'm sure you won't be here. But you never know. Reege list still be sitting here. Some other girl. Talking about babies.

Kevin: Gene Roddenberry wrote this. In 1969 after the original "Star Trek" series went off the air.
Regis: Since I brought up this big passionate love scene you are going to have in "Hope & Faith," Gelman is going nuts because Gelman doesn't like to be scooped by the network.
Kelly: Right.
Regis: Gelman sometimes outrates the entire network with this little show.
Kelly: Let me get another breath mint.
Regis: We wanna preview of the kiss.
Kelly: Wait.
[Cheers and applause]
Regis: Let's go. Let's go.
Kevin: When we do kiss -- I need a breath mint.
Regis: Now they need breast mints. I love off-roading?
Kelly: Not breast mints, Reege. Breath mints.
Kevin: When we kiss, I won't have the beard.
Regis: Rough her up a little bit. Go ahead.
