Guinness World Records Primetime (1998)
Guinness World Records Primetime
1998
Guinness World Records Primetime is a TV show based on the Guinness Book of World Records, and aired on the Fox television network from July 27, 1998 to October 4, 2001. It was hosted by Cris Collinsworth and Mark Thompson and reported on existing record-holders or on new record attempts. These new record attempts included many unusual or bizarre categories such as a 300-pound tumor, squirting milk from one's eye, covering one's self with bees, sitting in a tub of snakes, regurgitating, burping, setting one's self on fire, eating metal, worms, and ketchup, kissing cobras, acting as a human speed bump, and entering a coffin full of cockroaches. Most of these attempts never found their way into the Guinness Book. The show was met with poor ratings and even poorer reviews: viewers and critics alike were confused and appalled by the disturbing "records" being attempted.
Seasons & Episode
In this episode, we get a look at how many Contortionists can fit into a clear glass box.
The world's smallest dog, in terms of length, is Tiny Pinocchio, a steel-blue-and-tan Yorkshire Terrier who measured 20.3 cm (8 in) long on May 23, 2001, and 12.06 cm (4.75 in) to the top of the shoulder. The one-pound pooch, who also goes by the name of Noki, sleeps in a birdcage at the home of his owner, Linda Skeels-Hopson of St Petersburg, Florida, USA.
Yuck, here we look at the many Largest Medal Objects Removed from Human body. It is disgusting.
Here is performed a very painful looking stunt, when we see who can open the most bottles with their teeth.
Some real pain on the brain, when everyone takes a look at who can balance the heaviest load on their head.
A whole lot of accuracy and precision (more like really painful) when we watch a man break a large amount of cement blocks with his head.
Somethings chilly, when a man is completely covered in ice.
No, its not Pinochio its the worlds longest nose.
Leaping over Bar from Two Stories High is not all that you would think it can be.
Wow, the World's Largest Human Standing Pyramid, wonder how many people they will need.
So Hanging from Flying Helicopter sounds like real fun, but after this, it will be less popular.
Indeed, it all started as a gag for Jimmy, who would swallow whole frankfurters as a party trick. But he soon sniffed out success in 2001 as a Guinness World Record holder, swallowing six sausages – without biting or chewing – on the set of Guinness Rekord TV, Sweden. Later the same year he broke his record on Primetime, sucking down seven sausages in a minute – three of them in just 10 seconds!
In the last ever episode, it is an all out battle to see who can make the Highest Keg Toss.
