NY1 anchor and New York City’s top Canuck Pat Kiernan has never been shy about his professional lust for Regis Philbin’s old chair, publicly lobbying for the Live! co-host spot that ultimately went to Michael Strahan. Upon the former Giants star’s official debut this morning, Kiernan did as we all do when we’re hurting and took to his blog to process: “So I’m a little sad today. I’m not crushed,” he wrote. “I’ve got a job I love.
