Mino Monta - record-breaking TV host
Nov 29th, 2006 by Ad Blankestijn
When you switch on Japanese television, there is a fat chance you will be staring at the face of Mino Monta.
As reported by BBC News, he appears weekly in 11 live shows, spending 22 hours on TV. This has now earned him an entry in the Guinness Book of Records.
But that is not all. Mino Monta (real name Minorikawa Norio) also hosts 5 prerecorded programs, among which the popular quiz Who wants to be a Millionaire (he can really drive up tension with the way he pronounces – in English – final answer?) and Omoikkiri TV, a daily afternoon show with advice on health and lifestyle which is popular among women.
If this killing regimen of TV appearances becomes too much for him, he will probably die on TV, too.
