Because, well, it's just been that kind of a day, we thought we'd offer up this clip of Kelly Ripa, accompanied by Queer Eye for the Straight Guy's Chief Zhuzher Carson Kressley, giving the play-by-play as one brave karaoke soldier named Suresh Joachim attempts the world record for marathon karaoke singing. (It's 25:45:00, if you happen to be chronically unemployed and possess the heart of a champion.) We weren't sure at first why Ripa and an uncharacteristically mute Kressley seemed more exhausted than Joachim himself, until we heard the opening notes to his rendition of Richard Marx's shmaltz-lite classic, "Right Here Waiting," and suddenly, what little blood was still flowing to our brains quickly drained before the room faded to white. As always: enjoy.
