Something he noticed while doing a play in London “I suddenly realized after being lazy that I hadn’t changed my clothes for a few days.

83 year-old Maury Povich has hosted the longest-running daytime talk show in broadcast history. It was recently announced that "Maury" will finally end after 31 seasons.  We asked Maury about his favorite moment on the show. “That is when a woman was accusing a guy of being the father of her twins. So, I open up the envelope, and I say ‘you are the father of ONE but not the OTHER’. I look at my staff and they said ‘it’s a million to one shot with fraternal twins if someone is pretty active in a 24 to 48 hour period you can have two fathers.” Maury says the one thing he will miss the most is the “storytelling.”

Welcome to The List,

Kids…ya gotta love ’em,  Especially the really young ones…in large numbers… Thomas Rhett knows all to well the chaos he went through just like most parents when he took his four of his kids out to eat. "I took all four to Chick-fil-A the other day. That was an act of God, because any time that you’re with an infant – not that every kid is not as important – but when you are literally strollering an infant into a restaurant, the other three are kinda like, ‘Hey, I hope I’ve taught you enough to where you don’t sprint into the street and you’re holding somebody’s hand, and we don’t start throwing French fries in Chick-fil-A.” Adding those are the moments that he’ll remember  when I’m like 55 or 60 years old.”

Jamey Johnson just got inducted into the Grand Ole Opry over last weekend and Carly Pearce remembers her FIRST visit.  "First time I actually got to go to the Opry, I think I was 15, 16. I just freaked out. My mom got us like second row tickets because she knew that I had to see it up close. And this is gonna be funny, but I wore a little white tank top because Dierks Bentley was there and he was a new artist, and he was singing ‘What Was I Thinkin’,’ which is funny. Maybe I’ll tell him that someday.”
