A man from Sri Lanka on Friday broke the Guinness world record for the longest time spent watching TV. He finished with 69 hours and 48 minutes.

Suresh Joachim did his TV viewing in the lobby (门厅) of WABC-TV as part of the “Guinness World Record Breaker Week ” on the TV talk show “Live With Regis and Kelly”.

After passing the previous record of 50 hours and 7 minutes Thursday, Joachim continued until about 7 am Friday.

Sitting on a brown leather couch, he watched nothing but ABC shows. 高@考@资@源@网

“I’m going to be a little tired of watching TV after this,” Joachim told reporters by phone during a brief break.

Rules of Guinness for the couch potato honor, allow for a five-minute break every hour and a 15-minute break every eight hours. The viewer must be constantly looking at the screen.

The hardest part, Joachim said on Live With Regis and Kelly, was “I couldn’t watch the people” —the many, waving passers-by on the street outside the ABC studio.

Joachim, who lives in Toronto but comes from Sri Lanka, now holds more than 16 Guinness records, including the longest duration(持续) balancing on one foot (76 hours, 40 minutes) and bowling for 100 hours. He does it, he says, to raise awareness of suffering children. 高@考@资@源@网
