NEW YORK, July 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today that star New England Patriots tight end
Rob Gronkowski and E! host/actress
and longtime New England sports fan Maria
Menounos will get together for the latest installment of
SiriusXM's exclusive Town Hall series this Friday, July 17.
They will sit down with an intimate audience at the SiriusXM
studios in New York City where
Menounos will interview Gronkowski about his life and career on and
off the field, and his new book, "It's Good to be Gronk," which was
released this week. Menounos will then open it up to
questions from the studio audience.
The SiriusXM Town Hall with Rob
Gronkowski and Maria Menounos
will air nationwide on Friday, July
17, at 6:00 pm ET on
SiriusXM's Mad Dog Sports Radio (channel 85).
"SiriusXM listeners, Maria and I are going to help kick off your
weekend with some Gronk style fun," said Rob Gronkowski.
"I'm a life-long sports fan, a die-hard New England
Patriot/Tom Brady supporter and a
SiriusXM subscriber since the day Howard joined," said Maria Menounos. "To interview the great
Rob Gronkowski on the prestigious
SiriusXM Town Hall platform is an opportunity I'm honored to
receive!"
As one of the NFL's best players, and one of the most fun-loving
and outgoing personalities in all of sports, Gronkowski is a
superstar well beyond the gridiron. He was drafted by the
Patriots in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2010 NFL
Draft. In just his second season he set NFL records for
receiving yards by a tight end in a single season (1,327) and
touchdowns by a tight end in a single season (18). He also
became the first tight end in NFL history with three straight
10-plus touchdown seasons (2010-12), and his 15 100-yard receiving
games and 50 touchdown receptions are the most by a tight end in
Patriots history. Gronkowski is a two-time First Team All-Pro
and three-time Pro Bowl selection.
Off the field he has entertained millions with his appearances
on late night talk shows, in TV commercials and more. His new
book, "It's Good to be Gronk," from Jeter Publishing, was released
July 14.
Currently a Host at E!, Maria
Menounos' achievements have thus far set industry
milestones. As a journalist, she has interviewed every
President since Clinton, reported for Nightly News and Today,
starred in films and TV shows and is a two time New York Times Best
Selling Author of her 'EveryGirl's Guide to' book
series. Menounos and partner Keven Undergaro are co-founders
of AfterBuzz TV.
The event is part of SiriusXM's "Town Hall" series, featuring
iconic entertainers and figures sitting down with studio audiences
of SiriusXM listeners. Previous SiriusXM "Town Hall" specials have
featured Bruce Springsteen,
Tom Petty, Eminem, Katy Perry, Willie
Nelson, Alicia Keys, KISS,
Pele, Coldplay, Roger Goodell,

Menounos" will be available on SiriusXM On Demand.
