It depends.
If "Regis and Kelly" are one unit, use "is".
If they are two individuals, use "are".

No, "are" is correct. Regis and Kelly are two people. To test the validity of "are", turn the sentence around - Regis and Kelly are here. You wouldn't say Regis and Kelly is here.

Um, no, not gramatically. When they are saying "Here are Regis and Kelly," they are not referring to the show "Regis and Kelly." Rather, they are referring to the two people hosting the show, "Regis" and "Kelly" (" used to emphased two distinct people). Just like you would say "Here are Luke and Greg," telling people Luke and Greg are here, not "Luke and Greg" (as one) are here. Of course, if there's a show called "Luke and Greg," it would be correc to say "Here is 'Luke and Greg.'"

nope....are is plural, there are two people being mentioned, is on the other hand is singular, referring only to one person.
are is correct usage

No. There are two people, that makes it plural--therefore "are" instead of "is", which is singular.

"Are" is plural, and since there are 2 of them "is" wouldn't be proper english
