Lang Lang's Piano

If you hadn't previously heard of Chinese pianist Lang Lang, consider yourself introduced. WATCH VIDEO

The 26-year-old is an international superstar, who has played to sold-out crowds around the world. Today, he took his act to our Beijing set, and tomorrow night, you can see him perform at the Opening Ceremony (7:30 p.m. ET/6:30 p.m. CT).

In fact, not only did he bring his act to our set, but he also brought...his own personalized piano.

You know you've made it, when you have a piano with your name on it. I don't have one. Therefore, I haven't made it. Steinway had one (well, millions). He made it.

I guess my mother was right to try to tell me to practice. Sorry, Mom.
