In colorful letters, the name of the show reads "TVO Kids reporter."

Alex, the TVO Kids reporter is around 7, has short blond hair and wears glasses.

He sits at home and says HI EVERYONE,
I'M ALEX.
I HEARD TODAY
IS WORLD RECORD DAY,
SO I DECIDED TO BREAK
A FEW RECORDS OF MY OWN.
STARTING WITH
HOLDING MY BREATH.
THE CURRENT RECORD
FOR HOLDING YOUR BREATH
IS 24 MINUTES AND THREE AND HALF
SECONDS.
HERE I GO.

He takes a deep breath and holds it.

His mom covers his nose as a joke.

Alex says MOM!
THIS TIME, I'M GONNA TRY
TO BREAK THE WORLD RECORD
FOR THE LONGEST
ABDOMINAL PLANK.

A thumbs up Emoji appears.

Alex says THE CURRENT TIMING
IS EIGHT HOURS,
15 MINUTES,
AND 15 SECONDS.
HERE I GO!

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

He goes in the plank position and says WAIT, EIGHT HOURS?
THIS IS DEFINITELY
NOT HAPPENING.
THIS ONE'S A BIT WEIRD.
THE MOST CONSECUTIVE
STAIRS CLIMBED
WHILE BALANCING SOMEONE
ON THE HEAD.
THE CURRENT RECORD'S 97.
LET'S DO THIS.

(CROWD CHEERING AND APPLAUDING)

He puts a stuffed bear on his head and climbs up the stairs with the help of a crutch.

Now in the kitchen, Alex says MY SISTER AND I ARE TRYING TO
BREAK THE WORLD RECORD
FOR THE LARGEST COOKIE.
WISH ME LUCK!
TURNS OUT,
THE WORLD'S LARGEST COOKIE
IS REALLY BIG!
SO I DECIDED TO GO FOR
THE WORLD'S YUMMIEST COOKIE.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

(CROWD APPLAUDING)

They both have a cookie.

Alex says MM-MM-MM.
TASTES LIKE A WIN.
CROWDA:
HIP, HIP, HOORAY!
