David Blaine Figures If He’s Going To Die, He Might As Well Do It In Style On Oprah April 23, 2008

David Blaine will attempt to break the The Guinness World Record for breath-holding on April 30, in front of Guinness judges and a live television audience on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

The record is currently set at 16 minutes and 14 seconds. An episode of Oprah is 60 minutes with commercials, but she also has that self-important “After the Show” (like anybody needs that much Oprah) in case Blaine requires the extra time.
