Welcome to The List,

More Yellowstone programing is on the way…the latest news is that. If you're waiting to see how "Yellowstone" ends, you've got a year to wait.  The conclusion of the fifth and final season won't premiere until November of 2024…by then will anyone really care? And, as you probably already know, Kevin Costner won't be part of it. Two new "Yellowstone" shows have been announced though:  A new prequel called "1944", and a modern-day spinoff called "2024".  There are already two prequel series, "1883" and "1923".  Are you keeping track? Who's naming these shows, Taylor Swift?

Dolly Parton told "The Hollywood Reporter" that she's been asked several times to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, but she says no because her concerts are not big productions.  But that might change with her upcoming "Rockstar" album.  She "could do a production show" around that.

Mariah Carey is leaning into this whole "Queen of Christas" thing.  Yesterday she unveiled a brand new Christmas shirt. It has a picture of her on it, with the phrase "It's Time!".  She's selling it on Amazon, along with some other Christmas merch.

It includes her Christmas Funko Pop, a deluxe edition of her "Merry Christmas" album, and her children's book, "The Christmas Princess (The Adventures of Little Mariah)". . . which came out last year. On a slightly different note, Mariah is also the star of Victoria's Secret's new holiday campaign.

Garth Brooks will headline the first-ever "Amazon Music Live" special on November 24th, which is Black Friday.  He'll be performing live from the grand opening of his new 'Friends in Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk' in Nashville.  It's a pretty small venue, so he didn't make tickets available.  But you can watch it live for free exclusively on the Prime Video app and the Amazon Music Channel on Twitch.  (You do NOT have to be a Prime member.)

Biden recently watched the movie, in which an A.I. program called The Entity gains sentience and goes rogue.

Eric Church tells GAC that he had a great Halloween costume in college. Although, it’s not best to wait till the last minute.  They drove all over to find a costume and all the places were sold out. Until they came across this hole in the wall place that had all original Sesame Street costumes. They went out as Elmo, Cookie Monster and Eric was Big Bird.

And lastly, speaking of  "Sesame Street" They’ll have a few changes for season 56, when it comes out in 2025.  Instead of a "magazine-style" format, it'll be two narrative-driven segments with a new animated series in between them.
