On Friday, January 13th, 2012, NBC's "The Today Show" celebrated its 60th anniversary with a special featuring many former on-air personalities and a party for the crowd outside. Jason Allentoff, producer for Hey Killer Films and New Jersey radio anchorman, went to the event with plans to try and get his sign talked about on-air The sign had a picture of himself interviewing the Today Show hosts back in 1999 while a senior in high school, which was when Jason decided that broadcasting was the career he wanted to pursue. We got up ridiculously early that day, and followed him to the city to document the event.

But will he get on the air? Will Matt Lauer and Katie Couric remember him 13 years later? Find out in this short documentary, the first such endeavor from Hey Killer Films.
