During this time, Uribe featured on The World's Heaviest Man, a 2007 television documentary about his bedridden life and attempts to overcome his obesity. The event was documented in the 'The World's Heaviest Man Gets Married', which was broadcast in 2009. Manuel Uribe believed the sedentary nature of his work contributed significantly to his morbid obesity as he would go "from desk to car", thus not having any actual strenous physical exercise.
