The List for Monday, February 20th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Happy Monday!!  Today we start with some behind the scenes with Liam Neeson and his movie “Taken” remember the “Very particular set of skills” speech?  Well Liam had NO IDEA it would become such an iconic speech. In fact, when he was delivering those lines, he actually thought they were CORNY. Quote, “It was a cornball.  I really did feel that.  It’s nice to be proven wrong.” So you can imagine after he delivered the line, he looks at the director and they both start laughing…

“Judge Mathis” and “The People’s Court” are both ending their runs at the end of the current season.  “Mathis” has been on the air for 24 seasons, and “The People’s Court” is in its 26th.

Olivia Newton-John’s final recording is a duet with Dolly Parton singing Dolly’s classic “Jolene”.  It’ll be included on an upcoming posthumous release of Olivia’s called “Just the Two of Us: The Duets Collection”.  It comes out May 5th,

A home gardening company called Epic Gardening teamed up with Carrie Underwood to help her build out her greenhouse.  They released a 26-minute video of the process, which includes a tour led by Carrie of her property and the chicken coop.  Ya gotta have chickens!!!

A couple Hollywood quickies – Richard Gere was hospitalized in Mexico with pneumonia he was celebrating his wife’s 40th birthday when he got the bug…but good news he’ll be alright.  Tom Sizemore from “Saving Private Ryan”“Pearl Harbor” and “Black Hawk Down” is in critical condition after suffering an aneurysm…he is in critical condition and is in a ‘Wait and see situation’.

Lastly, our thought and prayers are with former President Jimmy Carter and his family.  The former president entered hospice care over the weekend.  He’s 98.

The List for Monday, February 16th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Luke Combs just committed the ultimate sports betrayal…he wore a Jacksonville Jaguars hat. Panthers fans immediately grabbed their pitchforks and pumpkin spice lattes and accused him of treason. One fan called him fake. Luke fired back saying, yeah, maybe he should have worn Panthers gear while playing in the Jaguars stadium…his bad. This man gave us “Beer Never Broke My Heart,” not “I Pledge Allegiance to Your Fantasy Football Team.”

Miranda Lambert kicked off the Daytona 500 in front of more than 100,000 screaming NASCAR fans. She admitted the massive crowd made her nervous, which is relatable, because the only thing scarier than that many people is that many people who drove there aggressively. She said it already felt like a concert thanks to the tailgating.

-----

Hollywood officially ran out of ideas sometime around 2007, and now Charlie’s Angels is getting rebooted…again. Sony is already working on it, with the Crazy Rich Asians writer attached, and Drew Barrymore possibly involved behind the scenes. So yes, prepare for dramatic slow-motion walking, explosions that defy physics, and a plot nobody remembers. That’s Hollywood innovation….rebooting a reboot of a reboot of a reboot.

-----

If you were waiting for The Simpsons to end, I have terrible news…you’ll be waiting forever. The showrunner says it will never have a real finale because the characters live in permanent cartoon Groundhog Day. They already did a fake ending just to mess with us. At this point, three things will survive the apocalypse: cockroaches, Twinkies, and Homer Simpson.

Get details on these stories at 4:20 this afternoon on The List, with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
