Before Internet celeb Michael Buckley of Meriden, the Middletown Xavier High School graduate became a one-man-show YouTube sensation, his boss at his day job reprimanded him for drinking too much of the company's Diet Dr Pepper supply. Today, he drinks all he wants.
Last July, the 38-year-old won a nationwide competition to sit beside daytime talk show host Kelly Ripa on her Live! with Kelly show.
Today, Dr Pepper unveiled a new online spot featuring the What the Buck?! star as part of its latest "1 One-of-a-Kind" campaign. In the video, viewers are treated to a "True Hollywood Story"-style show hosted by Buckley himself.
Viewers can also enter for a chance to be the star of an upcomingWhat the Buck?! episode AND win a YouTube prize pack containing an HD camera and all the accessories needed to launch a career on YouTube.
