Norio Minorikawa is a face you’ll see on Japanese television frequently. Not only does he host news shows, but also talk shows, wildlife shows and Japan’s version of ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ Spending 21 hours and 42 minutes on live television every week, he has earned a Guinness World Record. Minorikawa, who is also known as Monta Mino, hosts 11 live shows across the week to win him this title. In his spare time he also hosts five prerecorded shows. At the presentation ceremony in Tokyo, Minorikawa said, “I’m touched. I want to die talking.”
