NEW YORK, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Emmy-winning broadcaster Regis Philbin added another credit to his lengthy resume today, Friday, August 20, 2004. On today's "Live with Regis and Kelly," Philbin was officially recognized for setting the Guinness World Record(TM) for Most Hours on Camera, having logged 15,188 hours by the end of "Live's" Friday broadcast.

Philbin's first regular on-camera gig took place in San Diego in 1958, kicking off an impressive television career that spans more than four decades. His career includes news and entertainment television, multiple national shows on network, cable and in syndication, and his blockbuster successes today: the top-rated morning talk show Live with Regis and Kelly, and of course the game show phenomenon Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Philbin's mark surpasses the record set by broadcaster Hugh Downs. The presentation to Philbin, made by Stuart Claxton, Guinness World Records researcher, is the culmination of "Guinness World Record Breaker Week" on "Live," during which record holders from Guinness World Records displayed their amazing, history-making feats. The week preceded the August 23rd launch of the 50th Anniversary edition of the Guinness World Records book.
On a related note, the ever-competitive Kelly Ripa tackled a record of her own on Friday, failing to break the record for "most powdered donuts eaten in three minutes."
