Kelly and Ryan batted a third time in their attempt to break the record for most sweaters donned in 30 seconds.

Last December, the hosts of Live with Kelly and Ryan couldn’t even break their previous record of eight sweaters as they ran out of time before Ryan even got a chance to don his eighth sweater.

The hosts shot at the record again on January 20, but again failed to surpass the record eight sweaters.

However, after the cameras stopped rolling, producers Jan Schillay and Jim Niebler decided to take a shot of the taping.

A Guinness agent on set confirmed the producers managed to don nine sweaters in 30 seconds and earn the title.

“With a total of nine sweaters, Judge Michael Empric was able to confirm on site that the couple had successfully set the record,” Guinness confirmed on its website.

Live with Kelly and Ryan and the Guinness World Records team gather annually for Record Breaker Week as the hosts attempt to break a new record.

During last year’s Record Breaker Week, viewers witnessed several record-breaking performances, including most ballet dancers en pointe simultaneously, most consecutive cars skipped on a pogo stick, and most cupcakes frozen in one minute.
