For anyone’s whose formative years fell in the early nineties, they have a soft spot for Dan Cortese. As the host of MTV Sports (and participant of many Rock and Jock games), no one straddled the line in between cool and annoying more Dan. Twenty years later, Cortese still pops up occasional and is now the host of Guinness World Records Unleashed returning tonight at 8:00 on truTV.
The show does come off as an hour of Stupid Human Tricks, so if you are a fan of the David Letterman segment, this is the show for you because most of the records are not something you would ever think to break, or even do. During the first season, the show has seen twenty records fall (as well as one tie). Dan is joined by two commentators, the attractive Brit Liz Smith and comedian Zach Selwyn, as well as adjudicator for Guinness Stuart Claxton who brings some brevity to the occasion.
Tonight sees every day men and women try to break the records for fastest talker, most consecutive jumps on a trampoline, most spaghetti pieces eaten through the nose, most jumps through a jump rope with one leg behind your head, most kicks to one’s own head (I wonder if there is a category to another person’s head) and one more that involves a doughnut, a coffee cup and a crane. Hit, it has nothing to do with eating. I will also say that a few records do go down tonight including one record which gets shattered. Other records attempted include fastest time running through ten locked and burning doors, longest moving quad bike jump, most backflips on a water flyboard, and the greatest height achieved after being launched from a cannon.
