DennisLinkletter Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 This Tuesday, May 12th will be a great day for KOmodo as Chris Lilly will be cooking on an OTB with Al Roker on Today Show.. Hopefully KK will capture some new fans from the 5.5 million viewers! If anyone has the ability to record it and put it up on YouTube I'd really appreciate it, as it's not playing here...
johnnyboy Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Incredible!!!! That's awesome Dennis; congrats!!! Sorry I don't have a way to record and put on You Tube for you ; I'd have to send you my DVR!!! In which case I might as well come too as I wouldn't be let back in the house!! On the other hand I'd be able to reach out and touch a KK!!!
jdbower Posted May 7, 2009 Report Posted May 7, 2009 Out of curiosity, can you see the videos here? If so, it may show up here after it airs. The Today Show is also on Hulu (NBC is an investor in the site) but I know Hulu restricts the source IP address to US users only for licensing reasons. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/28901249/ Here is the full MNBC link: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/26184891/ ... 6#30698556
kravnh Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 If it doesn't work outside the US, let me know. I extracted the video from the MSNBC site, and can send it to those outside the US (or in the US, if you want it), or post it somewhere for downloading. The file format from the website is .flv (Flash video file), but I can convert to another format; a .avi file or QuickTime .mov are probably the most common formats...
DennisLinkletter Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Posted May 12, 2009 I dont know if it could have been any better.. Thanks Jeff.. Just watched it, I'm amazed at how much product coverage we got.. They usually don't like company names mentioned. As you can imagine, I'm over the top pleased. In the first 10 minutes.. I've got 5 calls, 4 emails and already sold the other Big Bronze. I dont know if it could have been any better..
johnnyboy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Son calls. Dad, I think I seen your grill on TV!!!! He's a truck driver, sitting in company breakroom eating lunch (pork butt samie) while unloading. Of course talking to other drivers about the pork butt sammi left over from Mothers Day, and my kooker that kooks it. When all the sudden one driver watching TV, Today Show says hey, is your Dad's grill like that one (pointing to TV)? How cool is that! Now the problem is I wanted to see the show but I FORGOT TO SET UP MY RECORDER!!!!
DennisLinkletter Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Posted May 12, 2009 Here you go.. Now the problem is I wanted to see the show but I FORGOT TO SET UP MY RECORDER!!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp ... 6#30698556
DachsieSlave Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Nice piece, but Dennis, instead of selling these units for a slight discount, maybe you should have Chris sign them and then sell them for a premium as a "Chris Lilly Signature KK"
jdbower Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 I'm curious about the number unique IP hits for the next few days - hopefully you've garnered a bunch more well-deserved attention and admiration!
johnnyboy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Re: Here you go.. Now the problem is I wanted to see the show but I FORGOT TO SET UP MY RECORDER!!!! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22425001/vp ... 6#30698556 Awesome!!! Thanks Dennis. I didn't realize the link was still valid after the showing. I'm giving it a shot now. Thanks again!!
johnnyboy Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Awesome showing!!! Only takes 5 minutes to view!!! I recommend anyone who hasn't seen the clip to try it. Awesome showing of KK!!! And a great presentation by Chris Lilly!! Stellar job Chris!!
jdbower Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 And it's now also on Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/72718/nbc-tod ... -4,vclip,1 If you've got an XBox 360 or PS3 you can use PlayOn to watch it over and over again on your TV with PlayOn.
LarryR Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 What great exposure, I've sent the link around to several of my cooking friends. I know Al Roker is a major foodie, it would be interesting to know if Mr. Roker picks one up. A Chris Lilly Edition would be pretty cool, kind of like the Harley Davidson Edition of Fords trucks.
Conodo12 Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Great spot Dennis and good job to you Chris! "This is my baby!" - I love that!!!
tkline01 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Probably because the producers said: "Not everyone has a KK, you need to show a regular old BBQ grill!"...or maybe the Today Show has some kind of deal with Weber and any time the do a BBQ spot they have to show a Weber. :P
Sanny Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 Hooray!!! That was an excellent segment, Dennis and Chris! Those ribs looked mouth wateringly wonderful, and the chicken too! I liked it. Not so much Matt rubbing down the ribs with his bare hand, but I guess they do that sort of thing on the streets of Manhattan. Could almost see those skinny starving TV hosts salivating on camera. I bet everyone from the camera guy to the makeup lady swooped in to suck up the leftovers as soon as the red light went off. How thrilling to have so many calls right afterward. Three cheers, Dennis!
smokykensbbq Posted May 13, 2009 Report Posted May 13, 2009 That was an excellent piece Dennis and Chris did a great job by having the grill stacked with meat that looked mouth watering!
DennisLinkletter Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Posted May 14, 2009 Today Show.. Does anyone know why the Weber was there? Without going much more into it, listen to Chris when he uses it and then remember 5.5 million people were watching and listening.. BTW The KK websites got 2716 unique IP web visits yesterday! Obviously a new record! Thanks Chris..
