At the site, Eli and Jonathan also filmed a promotional advertisement as well as a video for the broadcast. The advertisement will be aired on NBC, America’s official 2018 Winter Olympics broadcaster, every week during the Today Show and the Late Night Show with Seth Meyers starting March 5. The video will be aired in October on NBC’s 1st Look for American viewers.
