For anyone questioning the power of the KODAK brand, watch this Conan O’Brien video [about 12 minutes in] and the Kodak plug on “The Tonight Show.” In a humorous sketch parodying product placements in TV shows. In the clip, O’Brien is shown demonstrating and endorsing the Kodak M380 digital camera while denying — with tongue firmly in cheek — that this was a paid announcement.
The sketch concludes with a voiceover from the “NBC legal department” explaining the product placement deal. And now for a ScanMyPhotos.com connection. We were there. Thanks to Jeff Hayzlett and the KODAK family, Carl and I joined in the fun and attended the NBC show at Universal Studios and the after-party. We cheered from our seats, watching it live. Afterward, the fun continued as we all read the Tweets throughout the evening and at dinner, following Jeff and @JeffreyHayzlett from those fans raving about the segment.
