NBC's "Lazy Sunday" was a viral hit on YouTube earlier this year - it received over 5 million views on the site. Alas, NBC failed to see the power of viral marketing and sent a cease and desist to YouTube in February 2006. Now it seems that NBC is finally coming to its senses: in a deal announced today, the company will populate the site with promotional clips for new and returning shows and late night programs like the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. They'll also promote the "The Office" by launching a contest and asking users to submit videos related to the show. In return, NBC will advertise YouTube on air.
