The List for Friday, February 24th 2023

Welcome to The List,

Fans are starting to speculate that another “Wayne’s World” sequel could be on the way after seeing a recent post from Dana Carvey.  He posted a photo of himself and Mike Myers as Wayne and Garth.  Back in 2021 they did get in costume for a Super Bowl ad for Uber Eats.  So this could (potentially) just be a throwback photo . . . or maybe another commercial…our fingers are crossed…

Last year HBO Max announced it was developing an “It” prequel series.  Well, it’s OFFICIALLY moving forward. It’s called “Welcome to Derry”, and the director of the 2017 and 2019 “It” movies is returning to “expand the vision” of those movies.   Still no word if Bill Skarsgard will return as Pennywise. Stephen King gave the series his blessing.

Kane Brown and Kelsea Ballerini are returning to co-host this year’s “CMT Music Awards”.  It’s their second year in a row hosting together.  The show is going down April 2nd in Austin, Texas . . . and it’ll air live on CBS..

Warner Bros. Pictures is revamping the “Lord of the Rings” film franchise.  newly installed studio leaders have brokered a deal to make “multiple” films based on the beloved J. R. R. Tolkien books.  No filmmakers have been attached yet to the projects that are being called “The Middle-Earth Enterprises”.

Newsbreak says Jennifer Lopez is open to performing at weddings. Along with the wedding things that YOU may have purchased…Her demands include penthouse accommodations, bodyguards, bottled water, soft drinks, lilies or red or white roses, lime blossom candles, freshly baked cookies and M&M’s…good luck…

Morgan Wallen is Number One on all five of Billboard’s country charts . . . Hot Country Songs, Country Streaming Songs, Country Digital Song Sales, Country Albums, and Country Airplay.  Luke Combs was the last person to do it, four years ago. Morgan’s new album, “One Thing at a Time”, comes out March 3rd.

The List for Thursday, February 19th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is out here setting expectations so high the rest of us are gonna get yelled at for bringing home gas station flowers. He’s reportedly spent $141,000 on pre-wedding gifts for Taylor Swift, including Rolex watches, designer jackets, and daily flower deliveries. Daily. Meanwhile, I forgot my anniversary once and tried to fix it with a breakfast burrito. Travis Kelce just ruined relationships for every man in America.

-----

Lainey Wilson is teasing new music, and the title might be the most Lainey Wilson thing ever. The new single is called “Can’t Sit Still,” which tracks, because she’s been everywhere except my back yard party. She says her friends describe her as “a suitcase with legs,” which honestly sounds like Delta Airlines lost her twice already. No official release date yet, but she says it’s coming “real soon,” so prepare your playlists accordingly.

-----

Bunnie XO just revealed she thought Jelly Roll was a jerk when they first met, which proves once again women love a fixer-upper. She said he had “teddy bear with teeth energy” and sad eyes, and she basically looked at him like a home improvement project from HGTV. Fast forward to now, they’re one of Country music’s biggest power couples. Moral of the story, sometimes the guy who ignores you becomes your husband.

-----

The new Mummy reboot is ditching the Tom Cruise action vibe and going straight for emotional damage. This one’s from the director of Evil Dead Rise, so instead of running from explosions, you’ll be running from your own nightmares. It’s about a girl who disappears and comes back after spending quality time inside a 3,000-year-old coffin. It hits theaters April 17th, and I’ll be watching it from the safety of daylight and denial.

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