Welcome to The List,
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports Jay Leno fell off his motorcycle last week. He broke his collarbone and two ribs. He also has two cracked kneecaps. Jay was testing his vintage 1940 Indian motorcycle when he got clotheslined while driving down an alley. Jay hit a wire and fell off his bike. It kept going. His show “Jay Leno’s Garage” is at the end of it’s run as well, ending Jay’s 30-year run of having a show on an NBC/Universal channel. (Unless they give him yet ANOTHER show.)

The International News says casinos and betting agencies are offering odds on Jimmy Kimmel getting slapped when he hosts the Oscars. Jimmy says, “Will any host or award presenter be slapped during the show? If you put $100 on yes, you win $1,200 — which, I have to say, seems like they’re encouraging someone with a gambling problem to slap me.” or just trying to get some interest back into their show.

Miranda Lambert and Brendan McLoughlin celebrated their fourth anniversary with a post on Instagram. She included photos and, no surprise, Brendan was shirtless in half of them.

The Carol Burnett Show aired on CBS, but it’s NBC that is honoring the comedy legend with a 90th birthday celebration. Burnett will celebrate her milestone birthday on April 26, and NBC will air Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love that same day at 7 p.m. Central. Burnett is one of the funniest people to ever grace television screens and is still busy acting. She just had a recurring role on Better Call Saul.

Luke Combs’ next album is called “Gettin’ Old”, and it’ll be out March 24th. It’s a sequel to his last album, “Growin’ Up“. He even mashed them together to create the name of his new single, “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old“, which drops today.

And finally, great news….”The Simpsons” have been renewed through 2025, which means it will surpass 800 episodes.
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
