Welcome to The List,
Are you more interested in seeing a movie if there’s a certain actor or eye candy in the cast? Well, of course you are. The National Research Group conducted a nationwide survey of people aged 12 to 74 to see which actors have the most box office appeal. The top three were…as you might guess…Tom Cruise, The Rock and Tom Hanks…I didn’t make the list…

As you’ve probably heard, Hollywood writers are ON STRIKE. The Writers Guild of America voted to strike after they couldn’t make a deal by Tuesday morning at midnight. The big issue is compensation from streaming. The late-night talk shows are all re-runs and If you’re a Pete Davidson fan, first of all . . . what is wrong with you? Secondly, his return to “Saturday Night Live” this coming weekend is OFF. THAT is what we call a silver lining.

Did you know Jelly Roll has a food truck in Nashville that sells jelly donuts? It’s called the “Rollin’ with Jelly” truck, and they sell stuff like burgers and wings too. The internet just found an interview he did about it last November, where he said it’s the “coolest story ever.”

It seems like EVERY country music star is trying to sell us booze these days . . . and Eric Church is at it again. Eric has already done a partnership with Jack Daniel’s . . . and now he’s introducing his OWN whiskey. It’s called “Whiskey JYPSI” . . .The first release is available for pre-order in 38 states . . . and Eric isn’t shy about asking you to open up your wallets. Bottles start at $199.99 apiece.

Welcome to The List,
Keith Urban is reportedly planning a Bahamas getaway with Nicole Kidman and their daughters to reconnect as a family. Because nothing fixes family tension like sunshine, ocean views, and drinks with tiny umbrellas. Sources say the Bahamas is neutral territory, not tied to Nashville, LA, or lawyers.

AJ McLean says it’s time for a ‘90s pop Super Bowl halftime show featuring Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, NSYNC, and 98 Degrees. Basically, he wants the halftime show to look like your middle school dance playlist. And honestly, I’m not mad. One “Bye Bye Bye” dance break and half of America is throwing out a knee.
-----
Megan Moroney is doing something shocking in 2026…charging affordable ticket prices. Her new “Cloud 9” pop-up tour is nine shows in nine cities for just nine bucks a ticket. Nine dollars. That’s less than a beer, less than parking, and definitely less than your emotional support concert hoodie.
-----
Hollywood legend Robert Duvall has passed at 95, and Tim McGraw paid tribute to his Tender Mercies co-star and friend. Tim said they even texted each other over the years about movies and memories. Which is wild, because somewhere out there was Robert Duvall…just casually texting Tim McGraw like, “Hey man, Tender Mercies is on again.”
You can catch The List weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
