Breaking news! Hollywood actor Nick Afanasiev— you may know him as “Waiter” in the movie Wealth and “Sketch Actor” from The John Kerwin Show — has struck TV gold: He’s touring the talk-show circuit displaying his record-breaking tongue. That’s right, the 20-year-old thespian now holds the title of the country’s longest tongue. At 3.5 inches (out of his mouth), the appendage has become a bit of a sensation among YouTube connoisseurs, and though I’m hoping Gene Simmons challenges his measurements, “experts” agree he’s the US’s reigning champ. (Stephen Taylor —no, not Tyler — of the UK made the world record with 3.86 inches.)
Perks of his endowment include eyeball-licking and tongue-texting. Perhaps Apple could hire him as a distraction against the iPhone 4 drama.
Other very important record-holders you shouldn’t miss:
Incidentally, Fox 5 San Diego reports that “Afanasiev said he hopes his tongue will help him gain more exposure on television and further his acting career.” Watch for him on a marquis near you.
