Knicks Talk Show Parade Will Continue on ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’
· Yahoo Sports
The NBA champion New York Knicks will get more of the late-night spotlight on NBC this week.
Following Monday’s appearance by several members of the team on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, two Knicks players — Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby — will be guests on Tonight’s lead-out, Late Night With Seth Meyers, later in the week.

Towns will be one of Meyers’ guests on Tuesday, marking his second time on Late Night. He previously appeared on the show in January. Anunoby — whose tip-in with under two seconds left won game four of the NBA Finals — will be a first-time guest on the show Wednesday.
The burst of late night appearances for the Knicks, of course, comes in the days after the team won its first NBA championship since 1973. The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs in five games to break a title drought that lasted nine years longer than Late Night, which debuted in 1982 with David Letterman as host, has existed.
Towns joins a guest lineup for Tuesday’s Late Night that will also feature Olivia Wilde, Stephen Root and chef Ham El-Waylly. Kerry Washington and Alden Ehrenreich are slated to appear on Wednesday’s show with Anunoby.
On The Tonight Show Monday, Towns and Anunoby will be joined by Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart and Mikal Briges — the Knicks’ most common starting five this season — plus coach Mike Brown and other members of the team. The Wu-Tang Clan, who performed at halftime of game four of the finals, will be the musical guest, and the studio audience will be made up of Knicks fans who didn’t score tickets to see the NBA Finals in person.
