Hey guys, I just found out Yao will be on Regis and Kelly on Wednesday Sept. 29. I'm thinking he will be on David Letterman sometime this week as a guest as well. This is just a guess since celebrities who usually do the Today Show, end up doing Regis, then doing Letterman then Conan O' Brien---its the whole New York media tour thing.... The Regis thing though is a sure thing.... I would tape Letterman, and Conan this week just to be sure ...
For any Rockets Fans in NY this week..... Yao Ming, NBA star, signing copies of Yao: A Life In Two Worlds 9/28/04 1:00 PM at Barnes & Noble – Rockefeller Center. New York, NY. 9/29/04 at the NBA Store – 5th Avenue. New York, NY.
Rumor out of NY next week will be Yao is set to sign with the Knicks after his rookie contract in 2006.
I just check and it seems like Yao will only be on Regis & Kelly Wed. morning. Unless there's a last minute change the guide didn't list him on Conan or other late shows. late show guide I bet he turn down the offers b/c hes too busy.
Yao should double check before he sign anything in that bookstore. One Knicks may just bring the contract with Yao's book cover you know.
Looks like Yao is getting all of his promotional stuff out of the way this week before the season starts. After then JVG will lock him down.
Actually rumor here in New York is that the Knicks will offer him 25% of the Empire State for his service after 2006. The Rockets sure cannot beat that deal.
Isaiah: Hey Yao, can you sign my book? Yao: Sure....ummm, Isaiah, what's this? Isaiah: Oh, that's nothing, but make sure you sign and date each page. And the yellow copy is yours.
from Tivo, this showing of Regis and Kelly will only be shown on the east coast version of whatever channel it comes on. I'm in Houston and don't have whatever package gets me the broadcast network east and west coast feeds.
Just a further clarification on the NBA store...it's going to be at 4pm. http://www.nba.com/nycstore/
Do any of you, like me, think that all this autograph signing will do anything to his shoulder, like it did to Monica Lewinsky, and hurt his Free-Throw average? jk
Hmmm.... Some friends of mine got to go see the Letterman show a few years ago, and he tapes his show around 4:30 pm so that rules Yao our for that show because he'll be at the book signing --ditto for Conan since that show tapes around the same time.... Does anyone know if he plans on flying back to Houston after Regis on Wednesday ?? They tape that show live 9 am... Maybe he'll make an appearance on other talk shows Wed afternoon ??
