Yesterday’s post was a crowd-pleaser so I thought you guys would enjoy a little more. Or rather, a lot more: Not only did Williams get to do the voiceover honors at the start of this morning’s program, the “Today” gang spent more than 20 minutes of the show interviewing him. I don’t think Obama got that much airtime the last time he chatted with Lauer. Behold the awesome media-commanding power of compelling viral video, my friends. Coming soon: An exclusive hour-long sitdown with Star Wars Kid?

If you’re wondering whether this guy’s changed for good or whether old demons will come back to haunt him, the second clip’s the one to watch. Something’s different this time, he says. I hope he’s right.
