Welcome to The List,
Celine Dion is dealing with a rare neurological condition called “Stiff Person Syndrome”. It may sound made-up, but it’s real . . . and it’s pretty serious. In an Instagram message to fans, she said that it affects only about one in a MILLION people, and it’s been causing the debilitating spasms she’s been experiencing. that makes it difficult to sing and even walk.

Have you ever been to a concert and locked eyes with one of the performers? They’re not faking the connection. Well, at least Cody Johnson isn’t. He says there’s a “perfect pinpoint” to fans when he’s on stage, and he uses it. “If you look at people in the eye you [can] see them waving and when you wave, they see it. I try to make a personal connection with people, no matter where they’re sitting. I know that sounds weird and impossible, but it’s possible.”

Elle King had to cancel shows after suffering a concussion. She slipped down the stairs in the middle of the night making a bottle to feed her son. Saying “I tried to push and played three shows, but the travel, lights, all of it exacerbated things.” Elle thanked the artists who stepped in for her.

Al Roker has been discharged from the hospital — again — and is feeling thankful. the NBC morning show weatherman, 68, announced via Instagram Thursday evening. Fans grew worried after Roker disappeared from the “Today” show in mid-November. He later revealed that he was in the hospital for blood clots in his legs and lungs. Roker was rushed back to the hospital the following day for the same problem and remained there for nearly two weeks. Now, he’s back home and happy.

Welcome to The List,
Will there be another Austin Powers? Rumors say Mike Myers is turning down massive offers to bring the franchise back. Sources claim he does not need the money, already made tens of millions, and still cashes in every Halloween. Apparently he is focused on dad life instead of shagadelic life. So no, baby… he is not desperate.

Cody Johnson just confirmed he and Luke Combs finally cut a song together. Fans have been waiting years for this bromance to hit the studio. They toured Australia and New Zealand together, and now the friendship is officially on vinyl. And that is not all. Cody also says there is a track with Brothers Osborne on the new album. That record is about to be stacked.

Ella Langley just hit number one on the all-genre Hot 100 with “Choosin’ Texas.”
That puts her in elite company with legends like Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kacey Musgraves, Jeannie C. Riley, and Beyoncé. She is also reportedly the first female artist to hold number one on Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, and the Hot 100 at the same time. Released October 7th and it has been sprinting ever since. That is not just a hit. That is a takeover.

And speaking of Taylor Swift, betting sites say there is a 50 percent chance her childhood friend Abigail Anderson is Maid of Honor. They also give a 25 percent chance that Vera Wang designs the dress. We are now gambling on bridal parties. This wedding might need its own sportsbook. Only in 2026, folks.
You can catch The List with Jonathan Knight, weekday afternoons at 4:20. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
