Guinness World Records Primetime was based on the Guinness Book of World Records, and aired on the FOX television network from July 1998 to October 2001. It was hosted by Cris Collinsworth and Mark Thompson and reported on existing record-holders, or on new record attempts. These new record attempts included many unusual or bizarre categories such as a 300 pound tumor, squirting milk from one's eye, covering one's self with bees, sitting in a tub of snakes, regurgitating, burping, setting one's self on fire, eating metal, worms, and ketchup, kissing cobras, acting as a human speed bump, and entering a coffin full of cockroaches. Most of these attempts never found their way into the Guinness Book.

A TV version of the popular book collecting the extremes of nature and human endeavors. Hosts Chris Collinsworth and Mark Thompson present a weekly look at the biggest, smallest, fastest and strangest of just about everything in the world. Written by Jean-Marc Rocher
