NEW YORK
Suresh Joachim broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished Friday with 69 hours and 48 minutes. After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes on Thursday, Joachim continued until shortly after 7 am on Friday morning.
Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby of WABC-TV as part of the “Guinness World Record Breaker Week” on the syndicated “Live With Regis and Kelly.” Sitting on a brown leather couch, he watched nothing but ABC shows.
“I’m going to be a little tired of watching TV after this,” Joachim said. Rules for the couch potato honour, as stipulated by Guinness, allow for a 5-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every 8 hours. The viewer must otherwise be constantly looking at the screen.
