The List for Wednesday, January 21st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Legendary comedian Carol Burnett says she’s officially ready to quit acting now that she’s in her 90s. After decades of TV, movies, and making millions laugh, Carol says she’s done and ready to enjoy a quiet life. And honestly, that feels earned. At this point, Carol Burnett owes nobody anything. Except maybe one last smile.

Blake Shelton admits his biggest tour guilty pleasure is Cheetos. In an interview with People, Blake said they’re his number one bus snack and justified it by calling them “basically orange air.” That logic has fueled many questionable snack decisions nationwide. Science has not confirmed this, but Blake seems confident.

-----

William Shatner was spotted in Los Angeles casually eating a bowl of cereal while driving. A paparazzi photo shows the 94-year-old actor enjoying breakfast at a red light. No word on where he was headed, but clearly, when you’re Captain Kirk, traffic laws bend around you. Bold choice. Legendary energy….to be fair he WAS at a red light…

-----

Dolly Parton’s 80th birthday just got even better. Bono surprised Dolly by sending bagpiper Pat Darcy to play “Happy Birthday” for her. He even included a cake with a personal message. When rock stars send bagpipes, you know you’ve reached icon status.

You can catch The List weekdays at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Tuesday, January 20th 2026

Welcome to The List,

This weekend marked year eleven of Crash My Playa in Cancun, and Dierks Bentley absolutely roasted Luke Bryan over it. During an interview, Dierks was asked to name the headliners and joked that if you look at the ad, you’d think there’s only one..Luke Bryan, in giant letters. Luke groaned, Dierks said you have to “adjust the peepers” to find him and Riley Green, and you’d need “20-10 vision” to spot Dustin Lynch. Luke just laughed and called it an “eye test.”

The waiting game continues for Travis Kelce. Sources say Travis plans to make a retirement decision by early March and will inform the Kansas City Chiefs shortly after the Super Bowl. Insiders say he’s feeling a little defeated right now and missing being on the field, which could actually push him toward one more season. Chiefs fans, stay glued to the calendar.

-----

Speaking of hanging it up, Chris Stapleton says retirement is on his mind. On Armchair Expert, Chris admitted he’s “done enough” in his career and wants to make a thoughtful decision about what comes next. He said his family sacrificed a lot for him to get where he is, and he feels he owes them time. When Chris Stapleton says he’s accomplished more than he ever planned, you believe him.

-----

It looks like Kelly Clarkson’s daytime talk show could be wrapping up after this season. Sources say the show takes a massive toll and just isn’t sustainable anymore. Between music, TV, and life, something had to give.

The List for Monday, January 19th 2026

Welcome to The List,

TMZ reports former NBA star Lamar Odom was arrested in Las Vegas for driving under the influence. He was also cited for speeding and improper lane changes, and get this — he was allegedly going 41 miles per hour over the speed limit. This is especially troubling given Lamar’s well-documented history with addiction. His ex-wife Khloé Kardashian famously helped him recover after a near-fatal overdose in 2015. Hopefully this is a wake-up call before things spiral again.

-----

Today is Dolly Parton’s birthday, and yes — she’s officially 80 years old. To celebrate, the Governor of Tennessee has proclaimed today Dolly Parton Day statewide. Eight decades in, she’s still a music icon, philanthropist, and national treasure. If anyone’s earned their own holiday, it’s Dolly.

-----

Ella Langley just revealed the inspiration behind her song Choosin’ Texas, co-written with Miranda Lambert — and it’s a kangaroo. During a writers retreat, Miranda told a true story about getting pulled over on a dirt road with a baby kangaroo in the back seat, her dog riding shotgun, and Texas plates on the car. Ella joked, “She’s from Texas, I can tell,” and that line became the hook. The rest of the song was finished in thirty minutes.

-----

Charlie Sheen is allegedly in serious financial trouble after burning through an estimated $147 million. Insiders say his net worth is now far smaller than people think, and he’s scrambling to find help. His last real option may be his father, Martin Sheen, but sources say even Martin is done cleaning up messes. Charlie is reportedly stressed and worried this could ruin him. Winning may not solve everything after all.
