From Wired's "Furthermore:"

Regis Philbin has logged many an hour on television -- 15,188 hours to be exact. In fact, as of Friday's broadcast of Live With Regis and Kelly, the 73-year-old talk-show host has garnered the Guinness World Record for most hours on camera, surpassing broadcaster Hugh Downs. "Now it's all a big blur," said Philbin, reflecting back on his career that began as a San Diego news anchor in 1958. "When you look back that's a lot of hours on TV." In his 46-year career, he's hosted numerous news and entertainment shows. Philbin said the most memorable experiences were interviews he conducted with other talk-show hosts "that do what I do. People like Jack Paar, Steve Allen, Merv Griffin, Johnny Carson, David Letterman that know what being a talk-show host is about."
