The List for Thursday September 17th 2020

Welcome to The List -

The late Johnny Cash's family has given their seal of approval of an upcoming album of orchestral renditions of the late country legend's hits. Cash’s vocals appear alongside arrangements by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on a 12-track LP, which was recorded at the iconic Abbey Road Studios in London. The recordings include “Man In Black” and “Ring Of Fire,” and others "Johnny Cash and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra” will be released on November 13.

Last night on The 2020 ACM Awards Keith Urban was a little shocked to announce that there was a tie for the Entertainer of the Year It's never happened before..."We have a tie...this has got to be a first in ACM history. We have a tie for Entertainer of the Year...Thomas Rhett tied with Entertainer of the Year Carrie Underwood."

Strap in!! Top Gun: Maverick is set to hit theaters July of next year and actor Jon Hamm has seen an early cut of the film..."I loved it...it's everything you hope it's going to be. Tom is obviously perfect in it, the movie has exactly the right mix of nostalgia for the first one, but then continuation of the story for the characters...you don't expect anything else from Tom Cruise at this point"

And finally Jimmy Fallon talks about the problems Chuck E. Cheese is facing "Well, this isn't good Chuck E. Cheese is facing some financial trouble. They're now trying to destroy seven billion prize tickets. If you're unaware in Chuck E. Cheese math, seven billion tickets is ruffly worth one plastic spider ring....and a sticky hand you can grab things with."

The List for Wednesday September 16th 2020

Welcome to The List -

The ACM's are tonight and Thomas Rhett and Jon Pardi are scheduled to play. Thomas says they're going to "Wing it" on stage "That’s kinda me and Jon’s style, too. We don’t really practice much together. It’s just kind of like whatever happens ends up happening. It should be really exciting, and Jon brought a little choreography bit so, we might be dancin’ up there. It might be really fun." The ACM Awards take place tonight on CBS.

Kacey Musgraves has reached a divorce settlement with her husband, Ruston Kelly. The country singer split from musician Ruston Kelly earlier this year, and new court papers have revealed that Kacey will get 84.4% of the proceeds of their house sale, while Ruston will have the rest, TMZ reports. Kacey and Ruston announced their split in July.

Jimmy Kimmel was on with Kelly and Ryan and talks about his Summer vacation "I bought an RV...loaded the family into the RV and drove to Idaho" and Ryan asked if he has a special licence to drive it and Jimmie said "No but you should" because it's so big.

Law & Order: SUV began production on its 22nd season in New York City on Monday, and the show's star, Mariska Hargitay celebrated the event by posting a couple of behind-the-scenes photos on her official Instagram page. Law & Order: SVU, TV’s longest-running prime time live-action series, is scheduled to return Thursday, November 12 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.

The List for Monday September 14th 2020

Welcome to The List -

Jameson Rodgers Got To Perform 'Some Girls' On The TODAY Show With Hoda And Jenna and still can't believe it happened... "Pretty unbelievable experience, getting to see myself on national television on the “Today” show. It’s not every day that somebody from Batesville, Mississippi is on national television, so that was a pretty cool thing. Definitely made me look cool in my hometown, my mom thinks I’ve made it now which is great" .

Keith Urban got a little lazy at the start of the pandemic ..."I just put on my sweatpants, sit on the couch and watch TV with the family until the whole thing blows over. I just did nothing...for what seemed an eternity to me" But, in true Keith Urban fashion, you can't keep creativity down...found some motivation and he's off and running...

A couple blockbuster movies are being pushed BACK because of the pandemic...The theatrical release of “Wonder Woman 1984” from October 2nd to this Christmas. Warner Bros.’ next release “Dune,” which looks fantastic, will still open on Dec. 18.

Cars technically cannot go into outer space, but the laws of physics never stopped the Fast & Furious movies from pulling off crazy stunts. One crazy stunt that might make it into F9 will take Vin Diesel's Dominic Toretto into outer space, according to franchise star Michelle Rodriguez. During a recent SiriusXM interview, Rodriguez appeared to confirm that rumor. F9 was originally set to come out this year, but it was pushed back to April 2, 2021, due to the coronavirus pandemic...and the fact that Tom Cruise wants to go into space FIRST...

Welcome to The List -

Luke Combs says he can't wait to see his fans and his road family again. "Seeing the fans, seeing my road family...I do miss those guys alot. I miss having that interaction, but I'm also thankful that I was able to pay everyone a full salary this year and know that those guys are having a relaxing moment with their families. It's been obviously tough, but a blessing in disguise." Luke's new deluxe album, "What You See Ain't Always What You Get", is out Oct. 23. It features all 18 songs from Luke's 2019 sophomore album, as well as five brand-new tracks.

Lauren Alaina says the struggle is real folks... "I am not the best at social distancing, it’s a little bit hard for me. Obviously as a 25-year-old girl who lives alone, that can be kind of crazy to be at home alone, but I know the importance of it and I think right now it’s not about me or about you, it’s about all of us. We’re all in this together and we have to take the necessary precautions to stop this horrible, horrible virus, and as hard as it is for me, I am doing everything I can to be safe and clean and do my part and I think we all have to do that right now."

Family Guy is swearing in a new mayor: Sam Elliott will voice Quahog’s new leader Wild Wild West — yes, that’s his first, middle and last name - He's the cousin of former mayor Adam West.
