Dog poop, chicken wings, hugging a television screen, and an MSNBC anchor in her pajamas. Last night I watched an hour of Al Roker's attempt to break the world record for longest live television weather report, and something's definitely broken, but it isn't the record.

Beginning at 10:00 PM ET tonight, Al Roker will embark on a 34-hour quest to break the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous live weather report. The ever-present weathercaster for NBC and The Weather Channel seeks to break the current record of 24 hours.

The creators of Syfy's upcoming movie Sharknado 2: The Second One managed to write Al Roker and Matt Lauer into the script during a (probably) 2½ minute brainstorming session shortly after the surprise success of the first Sharknado movie last July.
