Al Roker Is Doing The Weather For 34 Straight Hours To Set The Guinness World Record
Today – Can he break the record? Al Roker is attempting to set a new mark for longest uninterrupted live weather report broadcast — a remarkable 34 hours. #Rokerthon began at 10:05 p.m. ET Wednesday, continuing non-stop until just after 8 a.m. Friday. It’s all for a good cause. Al is asking people to pledge support via his Crowdrise campaign, which benefits our armed forces and United States Service Organizations (USO). Al’s attempt is part of Guinness World Records Day, an international celebration of record breaking taking place across the globe November 13. The current official Guinness World Record is 24 hours, although Norwegian weather broadcaster Eli Kari Gjengedal did a 33-hour broadcast in September that is not yet an official record. He has to follow specific rules in order for the record to be verified by Guinness:
– He must talk about weather for the entirety of the time, outside of breaks.
- He can talk about current weather, and weather seven days in the past or seven days ahead.
- For every 60 minutes completed, he can take a five-minute break. The breaks can carry over and be combined, so if he goes four hours without stopping, he can take a 20-minute break.
- Two independent witnesses must also be there at all times.
Hope you’re wearing a diaper Al! I mean I know this is raising money for a great cause but lets be honest, Al Roker is in it for the glory. For the immortality. He wants to go down in history as The Guy Who Did The Weather For 34 Straight Hours. Well I’m sorry, Al Roker. You once shit your pants at the White House. And after you do that you’re forever known as the Guy Who Shit His Pants At The White House. Just accept your fate, bro. You could do the weather for a thousand hours straight and you’d never shake that reputation. People dont forget, Al.
How about the Rokerthon rules? Downright hilarious. Who knew the record for Consecutive Hours of Doing The Weather would be so strict. You know Al is plotting like “Alright if I do the weather for 6 hours straight, I’ll have a nice 30 minute break to go take a dump. That way I dont shit myself on the air.”Because the only thing worse than standing there like an asshole just making shit up to say about the goddam weather for 34 hours is doing all that with your pants full of poop.
PS – No way Fat Al Roker could pull this off. This is probably why Al got surgery and lost all the weight in the first place. He’s probably “This is it. This is my time”
