Marketing Programs (NBC)

This week, we see NBC shows marketing their programs across their other programs.

Heroes is promoted in Studio 60:

Harriet (in a Cheerleader outfit to represent the Cheerleader superhero in Heroes): Am I the one who can travel through time?
Masi Oka: Nope
Harriet: Which one am I?
Masi Oka: You're indestructible(The cheerleader character on Heroes, Claire, heals quickly and doesn't die from bodily injuries and harm)
Harriet: Who's the one who can travel through time?
Masi Oka: Me (his character on Heroes, Hiro, can bend time)


And I'm sure that this is a shout-out to Conan O Brien's Manatee, a very popular character of his show, in Heroes:
