Will Millender’s twitter has a link to a press release promoting the December 6 episodes of Humanly Impossible on the National Geographic Channel. The paragraph about competitive eaters follows:

Pete Czerwinski and Will Millender are speed eaters who can down more than 20 hamburgers in five minutes. These elite competitors are capable of eating up to three times the amount of food that someone with a normal stomach could handle. Using a real-time X-ray device, Humanly Impossible takes a look inside their bodies to uncover the secrets behind their gastrointestinal prowess.

Will Millender says he has another possible upcoming appearance on network TV.
