Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is allegedly in talks with Netflix for a major broadcasting role. Sources say the deal would make him Netflix’s exclusive sports correspondent, with a reported salary between $10 and $20 million a year. Kelce has also hinted at possibly retiring from football, which would make this timing very interesting. From tight end to talking head, the man is clearly building his post-football empire.

Conan O'Brien says comedians are letting anger ruin their comedy when it comes to President Trump. Conan said when comics choose anger over humor, they give up their best weapon, being funny. In other words Jimmy Kimmel,  jokes sound a lot like lectures. From one of the smartest guys in comedy, that’s a pretty solid reminder.

Yes, this is real. A lightsaber duel in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter was filmed by Tom Cruise. Cruise showed up to the set by helicopter while the Mission: Impossible theme blasted, then jumped behind the camera at the director’s suggestion. He went full Tom Cruise, standing ankle-deep in mud and water to get the shot and ruining his expensive shoes. The movie hits theaters May 28, 2027 and stars Ryan Gosling, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth. Casual flex.

Chris Stapleton is officially taking The All-American Road Show back on the road in 2026. And on select dates, he’s bringing help. Lainey Wilson and Zach Top will join him on certain stops. That lineup alone should come with a warning label.

Welcome to The List,

Jeff Bezos is finding out that married life hits different. Sources say Jeff is struggling to keep up with wife Lauren Sánchez while vacationing in St. Bart’s. Apparently, Lauren’s energy is nonstop — dancing, laughing, jumping — while Jeff looked completely wiped, just following along trying to survive. He’s happy, but insiders say matching her pace is exhausting. Turns out money can buy yachts… just not stamina.

Garth Brooks may be gearing up for new music in 2026 — and instead of blasting it on social media, he dropped a subtle hint on his website. Garth said artists have to make music and entertainers have to take it to the people, then teased “we’ll see what’s waiting in the second half of the year.” Fans are now speculating whether it’s a solo album or more duets with Trisha Yearwood. Either way, Garth playing chess while everyone else is posting TikToks.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer is officially getting a new chapter, and Sarah Michelle Gellar wants to be very clear — this is not a reboot or a sequel. It’s called “Buffy: New Sunnydale”, and she says it’s a continuation. Same universe, new angle. Sarah also admitted she’s officially eating her words after once saying she’d never revive Buffy. Vampires Hunters do that sometimes.

Ella Langley revealed her go-to backstage snack, and honestly, it’s elite. Heath Bars. Out of the freezer. She says the mini ones are the perfect size and she could eat ten of them easily. This explains the energy. And now we’re all mentally adding frozen candy to our grocery list.

Welcome to The List,

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid told WHB Radio he honestly doesn’t know if Travis Kelce is retiring or not. Reid said everyone wants an answer right now, but there are a lot of variables and some time is needed. He made it clear Travis can still play and everyone loves him, it’s just a process. Translation, stop asking. This is the same waiting game as last year, just louder.

Remember Star Search? It’s officially coming back, and the new judges include Jelly Roll, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Chrissy Teigen. The reboot premieres January 20 on Netflix. We’ve officially reached the nostalgia stage where everything is being rebooted, even the reboots.

Kacey Musgraves shared her hangover survival strategy, and it’s actually pretty solid. Coconut water, lots of water breaks, and pacing yourself while drinking. Alcohol, water, alcohol, water. It’s hydration with vibes. Science probably agrees.

If you haven’t watched Chad Powers yet, you should. It stars Glen Powell as a washed up quarterback going undercover for one last shot at football. The real MVP though is the soundtrack. Real country. Johnny Cash, Joe Diffie, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Willie Nelson. The show was produced by Eli Manning and Peyton Manning, so yeah, they understood the assignment.
