The OMG website lists him as 5-7. I heard him say 5-9 on the show once. RIGHT!

Kitty says on 19/Nov/09
He is shorter than Kelly. That makes him maximum 5'2". Let's be real... his feet can't even get on the ledge of the high stools. They don't have chairs for the guests for a reason. Regis is short!!!

Digbads says on 24/Aug/09
He is so tiny, he looks like an "elf" in person. He may be 5'4", but certainly not taller than that.

Austrian says on 18/May/09
ehm.... isnt his last name Philbin?

MHouillon says on 22/Dec/08
5'6 is qay too generous for him. 5'5 is my estimate as well.

me says on 22/Nov/08
well, knowing that regis is hardly 5'5, it would be easy to figure out celeb's height, since almost everyone goes to his show.

i figured out that this guy zac efron is reeeally short cos he's like 1 cm or so taller than regis, and kelly was taller than him.

Donatello says on 14/Oct/08
I can't believe some people are saying 5'7" for this guy.. I could see him being 5'5" straight out of bed with shoes on.

I first met Regis back when he had a local variety show in San Diego. We really didn't become friends, but when we'd see each other he'd always say hello. When he moved to LA and acted as an Ed McMahon to Joy Bishop, I saw Regis on several occasions. He's about 5'5". And a very nice guy. No pretensions with him. The only time I ever saw him get upset is when I kidded him that SC would beat the pants off of Nortre Dame. Man! You'd have thought I lit a fuse!

Nathan Lane was a guest with Regis last week -- they are identical heights.

Using a Digital Video Recorder (DVR), I carefully examined Regis & Nathan side by side on that TV program.

Nathan is 5' 5 with shoes.

I met Regis back in 2004. I am a 5'4" tall 25 year old woman and he was barely an inch taller than me. I actually was as tall as Kelly, but she was wearing heels.

chuck says on 13/Jun/08
i just met him and i'm 5' 3......and he was way shorter than me.

Ripa Fan says on 20/Jan/08
He is not even 5'5". Regis has to be about 5'4. This video even shows Kelly Ripa mentioning how much taller she is than Regis in heels.Click Here

leonari says on 1/Sep/07
never 5'6"-

Ron Burns says on 9/May/07
Well, I stood and spoke with him after one of his tv shows - he was slightly shorter than I am - I'm 5-8. So I think 5-6 is probabaly right on - this was 15
years ago. I think he was 5-7 then - now he's over 70 so 5-6 is right.

GrannyJules says on 1/Apr/07
I know people shrink....I, myself was once 5'9" and now, at age 58, and I don't have osteoporosis, am down to just a hair over 5'6". I remember Kelly Ripa on AMC and she was the shortest one on the show. (She is supposedly 5'2".) She and Mark (her husband) seemed to be almost the same height. I'd bet Regis is only maybe 5'3" or 5'4" at the very most now. We're not talking about years past.

I stood next to him at a hotel and he is not 5'6, he is much shorter.

Anonymous says on 5/Sep/06
It's hard to gauge his height. I thought he was about 5'5 nowadays cause Kelly Ripa is taller than him when she has heels on.

C says on 31/Aug/06
JMG, I completely agree with you. He appears to be around 5'6" elsewhere, but really appeared 2-3"+ shorter on "America's Got Talent". That really makes me wonder if the contestants were really that tall, or if it has something to do with him wearing "special" shoes on his regular show? Just a guess.

sf says on 30/Aug/06
I've always thought around 5'6" too, at the most. Not quite as tall as Leonid, the Magnificent...

Dkko says on 30/Aug/06
I remember a show where The Narcissist showed up to promote SummerSlam and good ol Reg looked almost like Frodo did next to Aragorn in the LOTR movies, The Narcissist was at the peak of his physical condition back then, probably at 197cm, so that would certainly make Regis no taller than 160cm

JMG says on 29/Aug/06
On his show and almost every other appearance he makes he seems 5-6 but on "America's Got Talent" he seems to be 5-3 to 5-4 for some reason.

Frank2 says on 5/Aug/06
So Shorty, have you met him? I have and he's 5'6".

Shorty says on 5/Aug/06
Regis is definitely no taller than 5'5" and I would bet 5'4".

C says on 4/Aug/06
I have a hard time believing this guy is over 5'5". Has anyone seen "America's Got Talent"? He is dwarfed by everyone, including some very young girls. He also appeared to be nearly a foot shorter than 6'3" Tom Green, on stage. Either most contestants on the show are abnormally tall, or Regis has lost height.

Frank2. says on 3/Aug/06
I knew Regis quite well, back when he appeared in San Diego and later when he was Joey Bishop's sidekick. Regis is 5'6".

Anonymous says on 2/Aug/06
if reg is more than 5'3, then I'm bill gates

Anonymous says on 15/Oct/05
He's definitely 5'5", you should change it.

[Editor Rob: I forgot to take some height from this guy...]

GPM says on 23/Sep/05
I met Regis in 1994. He's about 5'5".

McFan says on 18/Jul/05
I would say Regis is not taller than 5'6. He never looked 5'7.

mjd says on 7/Jul/05
if hes 5'7 now..then he must of been 5'8 at his peak...and that means he would of been 5'9-5'10 with shoes....you see how ridiculous that sounds????regis right now is 5'4-5'5...

wierd says on 3/Jul/05
Everytime i watch regis and kelly...every guest is taller then him...and come on..every guest cant be 5'8 and over...regis to me is bout 5'5 now a days..but at his peak was around 5'7....remeber,hes in his 70s...im preety sure hes shrunk

Palladium says on 7/May/05
Hi, Rob is it that money-guy, Regis Philbin not "Regis-Philibin", yes he's between 5'5" and 5'6", just sometimes he can look as an solid 5'8", maybe those many money's make it impossible to judge him. ;-"Pallas"
