From Johnny Archer's Facebook Fan page:

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!!! Its to have a bigger announcement than Buddy Hall being announced as my Co-Captain at this year's Mosconi Cup. BUT, here goes!! I am going to be on the Today Show live at 9am this coming wednesday. I get to be on the show with Brooke Shields (Guys eat your heart out). This is what pool needed for a long time. Being on a network channel like NBC is very good exposure. This is what pool needs to go to the next level. I will be having Brooke shoot a shot and i know already what shot it is. It will be very funny. You will have to watch it to see!! I will have Al Roker to shoot a shot, too. Then they want me to shoot the BEST shot ever seen on TV. I have to come up with the shot. I only get one chance to make it cause its LIVE. I am so nervous that i don't know if i am going to be able to hold the cue. I will do the BEST that i can. I hope that i don't embarrass the pool world. This is an EXCITING time for pool. Pool is the Big winner here. I need ALL the support and prayers that i can get. I need all of you to send me suggestions on which shot i should shoot. CONGRATULATIONS to the pool world!! God Bless you!! Johnny 'Scorpion' Archer

As long as Matt Lauer and Paula Dean aren't on, I'm in! ;)

Seriously though, that's fabulous news. So cool they're actually bringing out a pool table for this. This promises to be funny as hell when Brooke and Al get to shoot.

I wonder if Johnny's one "best ever" shot should be a trick shot of sorts... I don't think his one live shot should be Efren's infamous zig zag shot, lol.

Way to go Johnny and pool!

Thanks jam:) hopefully the greatest game on earth will finally see the spotlight:) JA definitely can handle that:) I've had a couple conversations with him in person and whatever the personal drama he has going on, I know he's got what it takes to leave that behind and focus on the task at hand!!!!

Sweet. I hope it goes over well. Generally ehen on something like this the guest is plugging something. What can archer plug. Play pool. He needs to have some outlet to push for a pool event. I guess it is mosconi cup but if it aint live and scheduled how do viewers go to the next step

It would be great if one of the hosts asked a legitimate question. Something like - Where was the ABP's presence during the Bonus Ball situation? That would be something to watch.

It would be good for pool if he was showing how to runout a rack 8 or 9 ball. A few basic trickshots...not so much. Johnnyt

Yeah but, JA clearly states he only gets one shot and he has to make it.

So what shot will be the right one that will make the most impact???

A bank shot? I think not.

A combination? I think not.

A trick shot IMO - as against our AZB collective soul it may be - is worthy of consideration. THOUGHTS my fellow furry friends???

Personally, after the texting/Dechaine drama, I think Archer could have gone a long way announcing the Today show appearance himself. In a thread with a poll regarding which trick shot to shoot...

Mickey <--- Yeah, I would have voted for Steve Mizerak's "Just Showin' Off" shots...

Mook! What's a Mook?

What's NOT said is often just as, or more, important than what is said.

If BB is not mentioned, well...draw your own conclusions.

Does anyone know if this show will be aired at 9am EST?? The only way it could be better is if Brooke could be coached by Eva!!!
