Wilson Casey, of the radio station WKDY-AM in Spartanburg, South Carolina, USA, spent 30 consecutive hours asking 3,303 trivia questions on air from January 9-10, 1999.
Mr.Casey used three phone lines for the event and estimated that 6,500 phone calls were fielded.
It took months of planning and arranging to attempt the longest radio quiz. Wilson admits that I really don't have a favorite category of trivia, but my trivia success has always been a simple one: Ask questions that most anyone could take an educated guess. So many, many have tried to copy my success, my style. They think you have to stump people with impossible teasers. Followers of my trivia are fighting to get through (on phone lines) as they know or probably know the answer(s). Wilson's hobbies include: playing tennis and coaching a couple as well as three girls' basketball teams at his church. He has one daughter, Colleen (b. 1987), who is an eighth grader. Wilson says, She and I do everything together. She is my life. She and I share a condo, play basketball together, softball together, and all of life's simpler things. She's proud of her Dad as everybody knows she's the Trivia Guy's daughter. Wilson's record attempt received a huge response from his local community up to and during the event: more than 250 people stopped by while he was setting the record. Wilson found it quite overwhelming, They brought food, refreshments! It was one 30-hour party! The area TV news crews gave us (me and the Trivia Family of Supporters) a lot of coverage, as they would do live look-ins. My name may be in the record books, but it's the Trivia Family who are the real record holders, as without them I could not have kept going. I am so proud of being a Guinness World Record Holder and would like to meet other holders one day. How does one stay awake asking questions for 30 consecutive hours? Mini goals. I'd say to myself, I'm going to keep asking one more hour, then when that hour came, I'd say to myself I'm going one more hour, etc., etc. I think I could have gone another six hours past the 30 hours, but station programming did not permit. My record may last longer than most, as it'd be difficult to find a radio station that would "give up" 30 hours of programs, commitments, commercials, etc. to host an attempt. I know my record will someday be beaten, & will I try to recapture it? You betcha'!
