Roku Brand Studio and Maker's Mark(R) Bourbon Premiere "The Show Next Door"

Randall Park hosts weekly show with celebrity guests for Maker's Hour on The Roku Channel

First two episodes available July 14, 2021

SAN JOSE, Calif. - July 14, 2021 - Roku, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROKU), in collaboration with Maker's Mark(R) Bourbon, today announces the premiere of "The Show Next Door," a weekly talk show where Randall Park sits down with actors, athletes, and musicians for interesting conversation, fun games, and more than a few laughs. The first two episodes of the six-episode series are streaming for free today on The Roku Channel, the home of free and premium entertainment on America's No. 1 TV streaming platform*.

Developed in partnership with Maker's Mark and the Roku Brand Studio, "The Show Next Door" brings the fun, upbeat, and relatable feeling of having a quick drink with friends right into the living rooms of streamers (who are of legal drinking age, of course). Roku launched its Brand Studio in March 2021 to help marketers go beyond the traditional 30-second TV ad spot and amplify big moments in the marketing calendar, including advertiser-commissioned short & mid form TV programs, interactive video ads, and other branded content on The Roku Channel.

Each episode of "The Show Next Door" takes place in Randall's "living room" and begins with Randall crafting a favorite cocktail during his opening monologue. Season One guests include Tony Hale, Terrell Owens, Fortune Feimster, Jason Mraz, Mark Duplass, and Gina Yashere, among many others.

"I always wondered what it would be like to host a talk show, and now I know - it's super fun." said Randall Park, host of "The Show Next Door." "I had a great time building this show with Roku and Maker's Mark, and I'm excited it's now available for everyone to enjoy!"

The show's focus is based in consumer insight -- comedy content has performed particularly well on The Roku Channel. In the first quarter of 2021, Roku saw streaming hours for Comedy content grow 798% on The Roku Channel compared to the first quarter of 2020.

"'The Show Next Door' is the embodiment what we call Maker's Hour - the much-deserved time you decide to make for yourself," said KK Hall, Global

Senior Marketing Director for Maker's Mark. "We turned to the Roku Brand Studio because we want to go beyond the traditional ad experience on the largest screen in the home. Together we developed an entertaining and clever show with a splash of spirit as audiences transition from "working at home" to "being at home."

"Our partnership with Maker's Mark is innovating how brands meet consumers today as they shift away from traditional television to streaming," said Brian Toombs, Head of Content at Roku Brand Studio. "'The Show Next Door' is an incredible example of moving beyond the traditional 30-second ad and creating a fun and uplifting comedy so Maker's Mark reaches streamers whether they are watching ad-supported or subscription-only content.

"The Show Next Door" will be available to stream for free on The Roku Channel and across Marker's Mark social channels. Starcom USA, which oversees media on behalf of Maker's Mark, developed the partnership alongside Roku and Maker's Mark.

About Maker's Mark(R) Bourbon

In 1953, in Loretto, Ky., Bill Samuels, Sr., fulfilled his dream to create a handmade and delicious bourbon. He decided to make his whisky in small batches, using soft red winter wheat to enhance the softness and sweetness. He then rotated each barrel by hand for consistency and, finally, aged each barrel to taste. Bill Samuels, Sr., transformed bourbon from a "commodity" into a premium handmade spirit, and today Maker's Mark(R) continues to make its bourbon the same way. That time-tested approach seems to still be working just fine 60+ years later, as Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon was awarded a Double Gold medal at the esteemed San Francisco Spirits Competition in 2021. In recent years, Maker's Mark has introduced thoughtful, super-premium innovations to its portfolio, including Maker's Mark 46(R), Maker's Mark(R) Cask Strength and Maker's Mark(R) Private Selection, the brand's first-ever custom barrel program.
