In the 8PM ET/PT hour tonight, the video will air on all of the channels of NBC Universal — which include NBC, MSNBC, CNBC, Telemundo, Bravo, USA, and SciFi (soon SyFy) — and their accompanying websites, as well as on NBC Universal's video billboard in New York's Times Square, at the Universal Studios theme parks in Orlando and Los Angeles, and in taxis in New York.
