I pulled out the Clay Aiken Calendar last night. It is always fun to see if there is any exciting event that happened on a certain date. September 26th is a great day to look at the calendar. Yes, we are a little late, but it was fun remembering this day!
On September 26, 2006, Clay Aiken was in Hollywood at the Virgin Records Store. He was there to sign his new CD, A Thousand Different Ways. He arrived at 1:00PM and was immediately surrounded by many fans who had waited a long time to get into the event. It wasn’t easy for the fans to get a autograph. They had to wear a special bracelet that they got at the CD release party the week before. A few fans were able to get the special bracelet in the morning when they arrived at the store.
A highlight of the event was a visit by Jimmy Kimmel who played the role of a “crazy” fan who was in love with Clay. Both Clay and Jimmy played their roles with enthusiasm and received lots of laughs.
When the CD signing was over, Clay hurried across the street to the El Capitan Theater to make an appearance and performance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.
The following videos are fun and really show the excitement of the day.

That was so funny – there was so much going on and the fans loved it. Clay and Jimmy had a lot going on in those early years. Enjoyed both of the videos and really loved the pics! The fans really came out for Clay – so exciting to see that!
Marlene….I loved this event too. I loved seeing Clay’s face.
I am glad you enjoyed this.
Thank you for the pictures and the 2 videos. I love it all. Clay and Jimmy are great together. Very funny. The look on Clays face, is right on. I wish Clay would be on Jimmy’s show again. This made my day. Thank you CANN.
I wish Clay would be on TV with Jimmy again. They were funny and it seemed they had fun. Thanks for stopping by!
This was so funny; I loved the expression on Clay’s face with the look of fear of an overzealous fan showed up screaming with his sign! Thank you, CANN for sharing!
Shirley….this is one of my favorite times for Clay. Both Clay and Jimmy both seemed to enjoy every moment. Thanks for stopping by!
Got in the car before the sun was up and made the 2 hour drive. The entire time I was thinking, “ You are officially a Claymate now, who else do you know would do this?” One of those you had to be there to believe it Clay days.
Sounds like you had a great time!!! We need another fun day like that!!! Thanks for sharing the fun with us!
I remember watching this on TV (Entertainment Tonight?) so long ago. Clay was so overwhelmed by all the excitement with the fans.
Thank you for stopping by. These pictures and music is one of my favorites.
