The List for Friday, February 4th 2022

Welcome to The List,

The Olympic games are officially ON….what is YOUR favorite competition…I like the Halfpipe snowboarding events, Carrie Underwood Is Looking Forward To Olympic Figure Skating … “It is really hard to pick one Olympic sport that I love to watch and is my favorite because there’s always something going on, and it’s always just kind of nice to tune in and see how we’re doing as a country. “Growing up, I always loved figure skating. I always thought the girls were so beautiful and graceful and strong and athletic. I mean, I remember dancing around our living room pretending I was an ice skater, even though I’d never been on the ice before.” Curling, Figure Skating and Hocky and the Snowboarding events are today.

Jennifer Lopez plays a pop star in her new movie called “Marry Me” and talks about how she “There was so much like I didn’t have to think about what is it like to perform in front of 50 thousand people I knew what that’s like.  I knew this woman’s life so well, I don’t think I’ve ever played a character that felt so much like me.” That to ME I think would feel a little like the Twilight Zone…Watch for Jennifer Lopez and “Marry Me” in theaters and streaming on Peacock next Friday.
