So, the other night, I was studying with one of my friends, potentially for a game show, not allowed to be announced yet…? We’ll see! You’ll hear it here, if so haha.
My friend has been on game shows in FOUR(!) countries. And he was talking about how he’d tried talking to the Guinness Book of World Records people to hold the record for most game shows in the most country, but they said it was too specific (which I think is kinda slightly weird, because is that not the whole point of the world record book that at some points is very silly – to have these random, specific world records?).
Anyway, out of curiosity, I asked if he knew who held the record for most game show appearances.
Take a second to guess in your head.
Did you guess?
Because this seriously shocked me. I thought maybe 15 would be the record.
Ready for this?
THIRTY-FOUR.
That’s right. 34 game shows. His name is David St. John, and he’s still alive! Wildly though… in THIRTY-FOUR game shows, he’s only won 5,000 pounds.
(So, at least I’ve won more than him hahahaha *raspberry-tounge-sticking-out-thing ;))
So, in conclusion, I don’t think I’m ever gonna break the record… but I would like to hit double digits! I think that’s pretty possible, considering how many shows are on GSN. So, we’ll see!
And tomorrow, just for funsies, I’ll talk about some celebrities with game show records that would be fun to beat!
