BREAKING NEWS: 8/28 Wed 9am, Archer on Today Show with Brooke Shields and Al Roker
- Thread starter JAM
- Start date
I do not know if Johnny is representing a sponsor for this video snippet, and I know his time on the air will probably be something lkie 3 minutes, tops.
That said, with Brooke Sheilds and Al Roker, he could do a couple quick shots, easy ones that go quickly.
THEN here's where it gets good. :thumbup:
Thorsten Hohmann, a Team Europe member, should jump over the audience barrier and break into the middle fo the conversation with Johnny and Brooke and Al.
He then challenges Johnny Archer, a Team USA member, to a duel on a field of green. They should get into a brief colloquy or a polite barkfest.
The distraction of the two of them in the middle of the trick-shot show will catch the audience's attention.
Johnny then says something like, "The Americans are the best pool players are in the world, Thorsten. You know it, and I know it."
To which Thorsten replies, "Well, we already defeated Team USA last year at York Hall in England. Don't you remember, Johnny?"
[Brief snapshot of Team Europe holding the Mosconi Cup trophy.]
Dennis Hatch jumps over the audience barrier and stares down Thorsten. Then all the rest of Team Europe jumps in the picture, with rest of Team America shortly therafter.
The camera closes in on Johnny's face.
Johnny then looks into the camera and says, "Y'all gotta come root for Team USA at the Mosconi Cup, December 2-5, at the Mirage in Vegas. Watch Team America. win the 20th anniversary of the Mosconi Cup. See you there."
[Cut.] :thumbup2:

Does the embedded ball rule apply?
Lol. Then Johnny shanks it and the camera shows his wife leaving in a huff.

It's certainly worth running that idea past the show's producers. They'll be concerned with how much time will it take? how much will it cost us to get the players here? (10 years ago, cost was no problem; today it's a big concern). Great idea!

All of that works great until he tells everyone you need to log onto ESPN3 from your computer in order to watch.
I sure hope part of the announcement is it'll be televised LIVE on ESPN, FoxSports, Versus, or any other channel that I can get!!
I think most of them are in NYC now at the Steinway tournament.
This would be a great boost for pool if they could pull it off.
The guys representing Team USA and Team Europe could be stand-in pool players from Steinway who are in NYC. They should all be holding their sticks in one hand like a weapon of mass destruction when they jump over the audience barrier, like they're ready to rumble.
Dennis Hatch with all his muscles needs to be there after Thorsten's challenge. His very presence would show that pool players come in all sizes. He's twice as big as Thorsten, so it will look like he's ready to fight.
Then Team Europe jumps the audience barrier with their cue sticks in their hand to back Thorsten up. The rest of Team USA immediately joins in the crowd with their cues in tow.

He doesn't have to mention the station or cable station. He can just mention the venue in Vegas at the Mirage on December 2-5.
Who knows, if this takse off, maybe NBC will buy the rights to broadcast it live.
A gal can dream, can't she?
But it *is* doable and could happen. The power of positive thinking makes things happen. :wink:
ok, you've got 1.5 days to prep, LUXURY.
i'd like to see....
1) break & sink all (9, 10, or 15)
2) while simultaneously jumpinig the cue off the table & NAILING MATT LAUER, in the ding-ding !!!!
ok?
and MORE importantly - absolutely!
it's New York, for God's sake!
go shopping across the street @ Bloomingdale's!

I've already called all the local pool hall and for warned them of the avalanche of new players that will be storming the doors Wed evening when the news hits full gear

even i'd pay to see that!
wait - jumping the CB? Johnny's married & Melanie's gorgeous!
Yeah, I've seen those also. It's so ridiculously good, it almost doesn't make sense.
Big crowd, doing it live (no "do-overs"), does a bunch of them in a row (nails all of them) and then does one behind the back.
Maybe THOSE are the kind of drills we need to do to play like Earl Strickland :grin-square:
This just in from Johnny. He just texted me, I don't think he'd mind me sharing this, as I think it helps build excitement and promote it.
He has chosen his shot. It's "DO or DIE, VERY dangerous, involves Brooke, and took the producers a long time to approve". Maybe he read Luxury's posted suggestion!
I asked him if he'd slip in one of those off center weighted 8 balls when Al Roker shoots (kudos to the creative thought JoeyA!). That he'd have the crowd in stitches. He probably would have to have the lawyers and producers approve that too, lol.
I hope someone here can record it and memorialize it on youtube and maximize exposure, share on Facebook, etc - wish I had the ability. Volunteer anyone?
Can't wait to see Johnny pull this off! Knock it out of the park Johnny!

Very WWE-like.
I mean that as a compliment. It would work.
Johnny was in the booth for the Earl vs Kiamco match (Earl won hill hill, plays Shaw at 2 pm on the B side, and winner gets undefeated Shane). Anyway, he said that Hatch was also going to be on the Today Show! And that he's taking two shots, not one. And said a few things @ BB, ABP, AZB, etc. Interesting stuff... Thanks for sharing Johnny.
I have played with and spoken to Johnny a couple times at The Brass Tap and he is a great guy. Met several of his cousins as well and had fun with them all. I don't care what he does I am all in to watch this event. Whatever Johnny does it will be cool as hell to see!
