The List for Thursday July 7th 2020

Welcome to The List, I’m Jonathan Knight…

Well, the fourth of July is this weekend that means cookouts, family get together’s and fireworks….so, what does it mean to be an American to you? Here’s what it means to Luke Bryan “I think the definition of an American is somebody who stands up during the ‘Pledge of Allegiance’ and stands up when ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is being sung and just appreciates what all the fallen heroes and soldiers have done to keep us living in a country that’s free where we have the right to do anything we want”

Speaking of being a proud American, Kip Moore Is Very Proud Of America .. “I’m a very, very patriotic person, proud of the country that I live in, and I’m very proud of what those guys do for us each and every day, and I don’t take it for granted one bit. My grandparents were in the military, fought wars, and I’ve seen the battle that they go through, just the horror of remember things. When I start to think that I’m half-way tough, I realize how I’m not one bit when I talk to soldiers when I’m out and realize the things that they go through. I can’t imagine facing what those guys face every day”

Entertainment Tonight says reports that ”The Ellen DeGeneres Show” is about to be canceled because of declining ratings and stories about Ellen being mean are false.

The movie site JoBlo says Jason Momoa is in talks to voice Frosty the Snowman in a new live action adaptation of the Christmas classic.

CNN says Comedy Central is rebooting Beavis and Butthead. Show creator Mike Judge is moving the series from MTV and says he is planning to do two seasons. “It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again.”

The Nathan’s annual Hot Dog Eating Contest takes place on July 4th on Coney Island in New York. QZ.com has determined that eating 70 hot dogs would mean consuming 19,600 calories, 1,225 grams of fat, Betty White is the person most Americans would like to share a hot dog with.

The List for Thursday, February 5th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

-----

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

-----

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

-----

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.

Catch The List, with Jonathan Knight weekday afternoon at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
