Oh, man: You have got to watch "Oprah" today for what may be the most boring interview segment in the history of television. David Blaine -- Brooklyn's own -- holds his breath for 17 minutes and 4 seconds, and apparently is unable to field questions from O during the process.
Seriously, what happens in this show besides a guy turning blue and O sitting there examining the couch that Tom Cruise may ruin (again) in a couple weeks?
Here's AP's wrap, edited down:
David Blaine set a new world record Wednesday for breath-holding, 17 minutes and 4 seconds.
The feat was broadcast live during “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and the studio audience cheered as divers pulled the 35-year-old magician from a water-filled sphere.
Blaine looked relaxed afterward and said the record was “a lifelong dream.”
The previous record was 16 minutes and 32 seconds, set Feb. 10 by Switzerland’s Peter Colat, according to Guinness World Records.
