Welcome to The List,
A Christmas TRAGEDY almost occurred in Buffalo, New York on Wednesday night. Chevy Chase attended a screening of “Christmas Vacation”. . . and when he came out to greet the crowd, he fell off the stage. Chevy was actually wheeled onstage in a wheelchair, but then he got up and walked toward the edge of the stage. That’s when he went down. He’s okay though.

Chris Janson tells Whiskey Riff that during a recent Oklahoma City concert, he accidentally threw his harmonica into the crowd. He asked a fan, “Oh, are you okay?” Fortunately, the fan wasn’t hurt…there is a difference between “tossing” and “fast pitching” Chris…for next time….

GQ Magazine says Ben Affleck recently wore a custom pair of Dunkin’ Donuts Nike sneakers in Los Angeles. These unique sneakers were commissioned by Dunkin’ Donuts to celebrate the release of a movie Affleck worked on. I bet when he takes them off it’s the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts….

This is what you call a missed marketing opportunity: There’s a new movie coming out called “No Way Up”. It’s about a plane that crashes in the Pacific Ocean and ends up submerged, but in an air pocket. The survivors have limited time to escape, but there’s something standing in their way: A SHARK has made its way onto the plane!!! And the question I have for everyone who had even a limited part in making this movie happen is: Why on Earth is this movie not called “Sharks on a Plane” ???

Morgan Wallen has to wear disguises in public these days. Sometimes after going hunting, he’ll leave ON his cap, camo top, and face paint . . . so he can “sneak around, and maybe even visit a Mexican restaurant.”

Mariah Carey sent flowers and a note to Brenda Lee after her Christmas song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Do you remember who played the part of Marty McFly in the movie "Back To The Future"?
Welcome to The List,
Eric Dane, best known as McSteamy on Grey’s Anatomy, has passed away at 53 after battling ALS. He first revealed his diagnosis last April, but symptoms began earlier in 2024. His family says he spent his final days surrounded by his wife, daughters, and close friends, and he used his fight to raise awareness for ALS research.

William Shatner is officially going metal…because apparently retirement is for people without a spaceship. The 94 year old icon is releasing a heavy metal album featuring covers of Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, and Judas Priest, plus original songs with 35 metal legends. He says metal is where imagination gets loud, which explains a lot about Captain Kirk. There’s nothing more metal than a man eligible for social security since Nixon.

Jelly Roll is officially becoming a member of the Grand Ole Opry on March 10th, and Lainey Wilson will be there to welcome him in. He first found out back in December when Craig Morgan surprised him with the invitation, and now Craig will perform at the induction too. It’s one of country music’s highest honors, and proof that redemption stories hit harder than any guitar solo.

Kane Brown is the latest country star to plant his flag on Broadway in Nashville with his own entertainment venue. Kane Brown’s on Broadway will feature a full restaurant, bar, and live music, which basically guarantees fans will spend money while singing his songs badly. Every country star gets a bar eventually, it’s practically a rite of passage. At this point, Nashville Broadway is less a street and more a country music theme park.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
