No episode has shown the 8th Doctor's regeneration. He was never in any series of the show, he was in the American made TV movie and in that movie they showed the 7th Doctor regnerate into the 8th, but we don't get to see the 8th regenerate into the 9th Doctor. It goes from the movie, to the revamp in 2005 with the episod Rose where the assumption seems to be that the 9th Doctor is fairly new and possibly recently regenerated.

How many years has Paul mcgann been on doctor who?

He only starred on doctor who once for a one off film in 1996, but as his wikipedia page states:"McGann had signed a contract to appear as the Eighth Doctor in a new Doctor Who series, if Fox or Universal exercised their option. Thus, the television movie was supposed to be a "back door pilot" in that, if it obtained respectable ratings, the new series would continue to be produced. The movie aired on 14 May 1996 in the US and on 27 May 1996 in the UK. Although it earned 9.08 million viewers and was very successful in the UK, ratings were very low in the United States. As a consequence, Fox did not exercise its option to pick up the series and Universal could not find another network who was interested in airing a new Doctor Whoseries. Thus no new series was produced until 2005, after all the contractual rights had returned to the BBC, and the movie became McGann's only televised appearance as the Eighth Doctor.Although McGann played the Doctor on television only once, he gave permission for his likeness to be used on the covers of the BBC's Eighth Doctor novels and he has reprised the role of the Eighth Doctor in an extensive series of audio plays by Big Finish Productions."

Who had the shortest Doctor Who role?

Depends on the definition. Paul McGann (the eighth Doctor) was the Doctor for a 90 minute movie, with no episodic TV serials. However his likeness, his portrayal of the Doctor was used in numerous novels, comics, and audio dramas, from 1996 to 2005. In comparison, Christopher Eccleston's Ninth Doctor was only used for 13 episodes, not even a full year since he was absent from the TV special, although he was also used for other non-televised media.
