RENO, Nev.—Tantus’ Hank dildo was on Jon Stewart’s multiple Emmy Award-winning and Peabody Award-winning prime time cable TV program The Daily Show, on the evening of Thursday, June 9. Averaging more than 2.3 million viewers per episode on Comedy Central, and millions of viewers later watching via The Daily Show website, on Hulu, and YouTube, this is a triumph for Tantus Inc.
The Daily Show news segment featured the Tantus Hank dildo as part of a spinning wheel named the “C*ck-Blocked Roundup,” which highlighted current events and issues in the media. This wheel was commentary on the media circus that surrounded the racy photos Rep. Anthony Weiner shared on Twitter. As Jon spun the wheel, the production team made solid silicone Hank talk. The audience greeted each spin with uproarious laughter. This talking dildo segment was clearly a hit.
Tantus owners and staff are pleased: Director of Marketing Victoria Bowman-Steinour said, “It’s always a thrill to be included in social commentary and pop culture. We greatly appreciate Jon Stewart’s wry humor and intelligent discourse, and of course, including the Tantus Hank on the show! From the internet sensation and magazine coverage with the Vamp last year, and the Flirt being featured in Jack Black’s Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny movie, we feel very fortunate for the media attention!”
For 13 years, Tantus has been the leader in manufacturing premium silicone sex toys in theUnited States. From realistic dildos like the now-famous Hank, to colorful discreet vibes like the Little Secrets line, Tantus dominates the silicone sector for adult novelties. With growing attention from news outlets and burgeoning brand loyalty from consumers, the future is bright for these Reno-based dildo makers.
