2DayFM Breakfast Duo Earn World Record With 35 Celebrity Interviews
Developing
In Short: Nath Roye and Emma Chow of 2DayFM Breakfast earned a Guinness World Record for interviewing 35 celebrities in 12 hours.
Nath Roye and Emma Chow of 2DayFM Breakfast earned a Guinness World Record for interviewing 35 celebrities in 12 hours, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., under the supervision of Guinness World Records official Brian Sobel.
The duo faced challenges early on, with Larry Emdur issuing their first warning just two interviews in, citing that the conversation was becoming too conversational.
To qualify, each interview had to last at least five minutes and consist of clear questions and answers, not just casual chats.
The team powered through a series of interviews, culminating in a grand finale featuring live performances from Rogue Traders, Sheppard, and The Wiggles, with Amy Shark as the 35th and final celebrity.
Guinness World Records officially certified Nath and Emma as world record holders, with Sobel presenting them with their certificate and declaring them 'officially amazing.
The event was a grueling 12-hour marathon that included multiple warnings, countless coffees, and a strict adherence to rules, ultimately securing their place in the Guinness World Records book.

- From sunrise to sunset yesterday – 7am until 7pm – Nath & Emma set out to break the record for the most live celebrity interviews on a radio show by a team, with the seemingly simple task of completing more than 32 qualifying interviews in the space of just 12 hours.
- From there, the team knew they were in the home stretch and powered through a remarkable run of interviews, eventually taking the final hour to the World Famous Rooftop, where hundreds of Sydney listeners gathered to cheer them over the line.
