Guetersloh may appear on Letterman tonight

Todd Guetersloh, Marion, is scheduled to appear on the David Letterman Show tonight, Wednesday.

He will be performing a "stupid human trick." His trick? Splitting an apple with one crunch of his mouth.

Using his teeth as a wedge, he places the apple on his mouth, gives his jaw a sharp, upward swing with his hand, and splits the apple.

Guetersloh said he's been performing the trick since he was in kindergarten.

After he wrote a letter to the show describing his trick, he received several requests for a video of the same, which he sent.

Guetersloh's contact man said the video was one of 10 finalists after 700 were viewed. Out of those 10, which were submitted to the producers, Guetersloh's trick was one of five chosen to be performed on today's show.

Appearances are scheduled on short notice, and Guetersloh's appearance has been rescheduled several times. He was informed Monday of the possibility that time will allow for only three to be performed. If that is the case, he's hoping his will be one of them.

Guetersloh flew to New York City out of Wichita Tuesday and will return Thursday. He said he's been to New York City before and isn't excited about returning, but he is excited about meeting David Letterman and being on his show. He said Cher also is scheduled to appear on the show but he suspects he won't get to meet her.
