Man’s Record-Breaking AGT Performance Has The Judges Speechless

In a truly unprecedented performance on Tuesday’s episode of America’s Got Talent , one contestant tried to break a particularly unusual world record. During his introduction, Nick Manning explained that he’d “always wanted to be the best in the world at something.” So, that night, before the eyes of the judges, the audience, and an official from the Guinness Book of World Records, this ambitious man would be attempting something quite unexpected. He was going to break the world record for “most underpants pulled on in 30 seconds.”
Nick informed everyone that, in order to unseat the previous record-holder, he would have to put on 24 pairs of underwear. In preparation for the attempt, he’d arranged dozens of pairs on the ground in a straight line for easy pick up. To make it clear when he beat the record, the 24th pair was gold.
At first, the America’s Got Talent judges seemed slightly underwhelmed by this contestant’s choice in world record. However, it wasn’t long before Nick’s enthusiasm rubbed off on the audience. As soon as the timer started, guests began cheering while the man pulled pair after pair of underwear onto his person with lightning speed. Even the judges started getting excited!
Unfortunately, Nick lost some of his momentum when he got his foot stuck in one of the leg holes. While it only took a second for him to get free, this mishap lost him valuable time. In the end, he was unable to put on all 24 pairs of underwear. America’s Got Talent audience members were devastated that he hadn’t broken the record!

Luckily, though, this wasn’t the end of Nick Manning’s performance. He had one more world record attempt up his sleeve! However, this one would require some audience participation .
“There is a record for most people gathered in one place wearing underwear on their heads,” the contestant announced.
When the crowd found out that they would technically become record holders along with Nick, they were all for it!
“I’ll put on underwear like never before!” shouted one guest in the audience.
Terry Crews revealed that there was a fresh pair of underwear underneath everyone’s seat. In no time, everyone had one of these undergarments on their head! Even Simon Cowell participated, comedically putting his face through one of the leg holes as though it were a hood.
Stakes were high at this point! As the Guinness World Records official warned, if even 10% of America’s Got Talent audience members did not wear a pair of underwear on their heads, they wouldn’t be able to break the record. While being counted, everyone would have to keep their headgear on for a full minute.
Finally, the timer ran out, and the Guinness World Records official delivered the results. They beat the record for most people gathered in one place wearing underwear on their heads! As soon as the crowd found out, they went wild.
There was still one more hurdle for Nick Manning on America’s Got Talent that night: would breaking a world record earn him a spot in the next round? Sadly, the judges agreed that, while his act had been entertaining, it wasn’t the kind of talent they were looking for.
Although Nick Manning may have lost his chance to continue performing on America’s Got Talent , he still has a Guinness World Record under his belt. All in all, we’d say he should be pretty proud of this feat!
