“King of the Highwire” Nik Wallenda continues to draw international attention with his stunts, the latest of which landed the aerialist another feature on the Late Show with David Letterman’s Top Ten List.

Wallenda yesterday completed a walk along the Orlando Eye, a 400-foot observation wheel south of Universal Studios, which gave the 36-year-old Sarasota resident another Guinness World Record. 

NBC’s Today Show broadcasted the event, while CBS’s Letterman poked fun at Wallenda with a lot of comically trivial future stunts. Those included jumping the buffet line, sitting through a double feature of both “Paul Blart” movies and eating soup in a hammock.
