Denny’s reprise hit father & son pairing in a second stab at viral fame

Comedian DJ Pryor and his infant son Kingston reprise their roles within a Denny’s outlet, picking up their incoherent conversation where they left off with a ‘booth chat’ fueled by plenty of bacon and eggs for a tasty Father’s Day treat.

Star of the show is 19-month old Kingston himself who delights in enthusiastic babbling with Pryor on hand as a translator for viewers at home.

Explaining the choice of ambassadors Denny's chief marketing officer John Dillon said: “We knew immediately, we wanted to hear more and invited both father and son to continue their conversation over a meal in a booth at Denny’s," he said by email.

"This video captures what we’re all about at Denny’s – our commitment to feed people’s bodies minds and souls by bringing people together over a great meal.”

Denny’s has built a reputation as ‘America’s’ diner' by harnessing pop culture moments and making them its own.
