Long-running TV talk show "Tetsuko no Heya" ("Tetsuko's Room") marked its 10,000th episode on Wednesday.

The show holds the Guinness World Record for the most TV talk show episodes hosted by the same presenter.

Veteran actress Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, 81, has presented the show since it began on Feb. 2, 1976, and in the past four decades she has never missed a taping, says TV Asahi, which airs the show every weekday at noon.
