Season 9

Spice Girls guest for the first time and Kate Mulgrew talks about the day she co-hosted the show and got giddy when a handsome guest arrived, answers what spice she'd be and promotes the third season finale of ST: Voyager, titled Scorpion.

Star Trek Voyager actress Kate Mulgrew takes over for Kathie Lee for the day and Regis tries out being a Ferengi. He and Kate first talk about Voyager, career and family, then banter, go over some very depressing current news headlines and take a caller, but things soon heat up when their first guest, handsome actor Michael Nouri, arrives to promote his play Victor Victoria, and Kate, his old acquaintance, becomes visibly giddy. Flirty Nouri plays along as well as Regis who becomes the third wheel. Later, on Regis' request, the guest pop band No Mercy plays for the "couple" as they hug. In the final segment, the hosts, Nouri who per Kate's request won't leave, and film critic Joel Siegel predict Oscar winners for the year.
