*The adorable video that went viral about a week ago of a Black father talking to his infant about a television show has landed the dynamic duo a Denny’s commercial.
Folks across social media shared the clip of Petersburg native DJ Pryor and his 18-month-old son, Kingston, dishing about how the season finale of “Empire” will play out.
The video was shared on Facebook by his wife Shanieke, who wrote in a caption, “Only this child!! Having a full-fledged conversation with Daddy and Daddy is just as bad” and included the hashtags “#TheseTwoAreAMess #OurHouseisAlwaysFullofLaughter #MrPersonality #HeNeedsHisOwnShow #KingstonJierre #KJP.”

“I was a little perplexed how I felt about the show, and he was kind of standing on the floor like he understood what I was talking about. I said, ‘You feel me man?’” Pryor said in an interview about his Internet fame.
The adorable conversation between the son and father has garnered 47 million views on Facebook — and the folks over at Denny’s took notice.
Pryor and Kingston were tapped to star in a Denny’s Father’s Day TV spot, and both are seen sitting at a booth in front of a plate of pancakes with a side of bacon and eggs, Complex reports.
“I think it’s perfect that we came here to have a booth chat just amongst father and son, right?” Pryor tells the child in the clip. “What I brought you here is to find out what’s going in your life. What’s going in your life, huh?”
Kingston then begins to babble.
“Thank you for bringing daddy here. I appreciate you,” the comedian says as he embraces his son. “Is that your grand finale? Because you buttered me up.”
