2019. November 18. 09:24
Budapest, 18 November, 2019 (APA/OTS) - Starting Tuesday, the 12th
of November 2019, lasting until today, the 15th of November 2019,
Ariane Alter and Sebastian Meinberg, two hosts, known from their
successful YouTube channel "Das schaffst du nie!" ("You will never
make it"), presented the marathon television talk show lasting 72
hours. It was broadcast live on ARD-alpha, the only educational TV
channel in the German-speaking world. The previous record of 70
hours and five minutes had been set by two Syrian journalists in
2014.
Over the course of the show, the hosts Alter and Meinberg
entertained their audiences in and outside the studio with great
dedication getting by with almost no sleep.
Apart from setting a new world record, both protagonists were
on a mission to get smarter every hour. They achieved their goal by
talking to more than 100 guests in the studio about science,
politics, sustainability and pop culture. The YouTube livestream
reached more than 1,8 million views (YouTube Analytics, realtime
data).
During the entire 72 hours, independent observers were present.
Their task was to verify the legitimacy of the record attempt and
the compliance with the Guinness World Record rules. These comprise
for example the number and length of toilet breaks and naps. To
comply with the rules and to ensure the record attempt would be
valid, the hosts had to talk and entertain their audiences for at
least 40 minutes every hour.
"It was harder than we thought, but we feel super happy for
having made it", said host Ariane Alter afterwards.
"We made it! The great result is an honour and absolute success
for us. I am so proud that we never shy away from seemingly
impossible challenges, like hosting a TV show for 72 hours", said
host Sebastian Meinberg, proudly.
