Yep, I was coming to comment that my company hired him for an event we had maybe 10 years ago. It was standard “work hard and you can accomplish anything” stuff peppered with HR friendly jokes and bits of the dance routine. It was weird though because most of the people there were either too young or too old to have any idea who he was or what video people were talking about.
