Guy Adams Phillips (born August 30, 1952) is an American radio show host, television personality, and master of ceremonies. He is currently the host of the longest running morning show in St. Louis radio history. Phillips' show began on the St. Louis airwaves in 1979 as the team of "Phillips and Wall." His longtime partnership with Mike Wall ended in November 1990 with Phillips creating the "Phillips and Company Show," as it is known today.

Phillips received his B.I.S. degree from New Mexico State University in 1975 where he helped shape both the radio and television departments. He began his professional broadcasting career before completing his college studies when he accepted a weekend position with KINT-AM in El Paso, Texas in 1972. It was there where he met and formed a partnership with Michael E. Wall that took them on local comedy stages, to corporate functions, and finally an on-air morning show at KINT-FM in 1974. Phillips had also worked at KELP-AM (920 kHz) and KELP (ABC) television in El Paso, where he played Commander Mac and hosted an afternoon kids' show. In 1977 the duo moved across the border to host the "Phillips and Wall" show on the Mexican powerhouse 150,000 watt XEROK 80 (800 kHz) in Juarez, Mexico. Initially recording their shows 24-hours in advance (due to Mexican broadcast regulations) at the corporate studios in El Paso, the pair went live less than a year later from the studios in Juarez. They share the distinction of being the first American announcers to broadcast a live radio show since Wolfman Jack (Bob Smith) departed the airwaves there in 1973.

In 1978, Phillips and his partner headed west to Fresno, California to radio station KYNO-AM, a Drake-Chenault property. In the short time they were there, the morning show numbers exploded. While the team was sought by other radio stations, it was former KCBQ (San Diego, CA) program director Joel Denver (AllAccess.com) who got their attention with a job offer in St. Louis, MO. "Phillips and Wall" arrived in the Gateway City in March of 1979 replacing Bill Bailey.

Today, the "Phillips and Company Morning Show," heard on CBS's Y98 (KYKY-FM 98.1) from 5:30 a.m. until 10 a.m., is a highly talented, highly rated ensemble of staff including Courtney Landrum, Jen Myers, Lance Hildebrand, and Kevin-the-Intern Berghoff.

Phillips has won many local awards for broadcast excellence including multiple Marconi's and A.I.R. awards. In 2005-2006, Phillips was inducted into the St. Louis Radio Hall of Fame and the St. Louis Media Halls of Fame (University of Missouri St. Louis).
