Darryl Philbin moves to California and in 2010, guest hosts "Live With Regis and Kelly" while Kelly Ripa is out on maternity leave for the birth of her fifth child.
The show is nicknamed "Live With the Philbins!" and is an immediate success. Audiences love the repartee between Regis and Darryl, and Darryl's LA lounge acts begin to sell out.
After a nasty public argument with Kelly Kapoor that lands them in the tabloids, Darryl begins dating Beyonce Knowles in 2012 and is featured in several music videos from her nineteenth album.
