About the Book

CenterStage: My Most Fascinating Interviews — from A-Rod to Jay-Z

From the longtime host of the New York Yankees’ television broadcasts, ESPN Radio’s "The Michael Kay Show" and YES Network’s Emmy Award–winning "CenterStage" comes a selection of his most memorable interviews with the most intriguing personalities in sports and entertainment --- ranging from Jay-Z to Mike Tyson to Serena Williams to Adam Sandler to Bon Jovi to Larry David.

Emmy Award–winning television announcer and interviewer Michael Kay’s 18 years as host of "CenterStage" have given him access to many remarkable figures in sports and entertainment. Now, this absorbing selection of the best, most revealing --- and often surprising --- interviews are available in one amazing collection, including some of the behind-the-scenes stories that didn’t appear on camera. From Kay’s very first "CenterStage" interview in 2001 with quarterback Steve Young, the show’s creators knew they had something special. Kay’s ability to get celebrities and otherwise private personalities to open up and share candid insights has become his trademark.

Among the interviews featured in the book are those with Red Auerbach, Charles Barkley, Mike Tyson, Bobby Orr, Sly Stallone, Jay-Z, Lorne Michaels, Paul Simon, John McEnroe, Rob Reiner, Seth Meyers, Serena Williams, Alan Alda, David Halberstam, Larry David, Bob Costas, Billy Crystal, Lindsey Vonn, Chris Evert and Quentin Tarantino.

For any pop culture fan or sports enthusiast, this prized collection “should be high on your reading list” (Alex Rodriguez, three-time American League MVP).
