The List for Friday, January 9th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Travis Kelce is allegedly in talks with Netflix for a major broadcasting role. Sources say the deal would make him Netflix’s exclusive sports correspondent, with a reported salary between $10 and $20 million a year. Kelce has also hinted at possibly retiring from football, which would make this timing very interesting. From tight end to talking head, the man is clearly building his post-football empire.

Conan O’Brien says comedians are letting anger ruin their comedy when it comes to President Trump. Conan said when comics choose anger over humor, they give up their best weapon, being funny. In other words Jimmy Kimmel,  jokes sound a lot like lectures. From one of the smartest guys in comedy, that’s a pretty solid reminder.

Yes, this is real. A lightsaber duel in the upcoming Star Wars: Starfighter was filmed by Tom Cruise. Cruise showed up to the set by helicopter while the Mission: Impossible theme blasted, then jumped behind the camera at the director’s suggestion. He went full Tom Cruise, standing ankle-deep in mud and water to get the shot and ruining his expensive shoes. The movie hits theaters May 28, 2027 and stars Ryan Gosling, Matt Smith, and Mia Goth. Casual flex.

Chris Stapleton is officially taking The All-American Road Show back on the road in 2026. And on select dates, he’s bringing help. Lainey Wilson and Zach Top will join him on certain stops. That lineup alone should come with a warning label.

The List for Thursday, January 15th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Martha Stewart is planning way ahead and she’s not joking. Martha says she wants her remains composted and returned to her garden as nutrient-rich soil. She explained that when her horses pass, they’re buried respectfully on her property, and that’s where she wants to go too. No coffin. No fuss. Just full Martha Stewart sustainability, right to the end.

-----

Matthew McConaughey has officially trademarked “Alright, Alright, Alright” and even his face and voice. The move is aimed at stopping unauthorized A.I. versions of him from popping up online. So, if a robot tries to sell cologne using his voice, lawyers will arrive immediately.

-----

Social media actually did something wholesome. Gunnery Sergeant Stephen Corson is heading to the Marine Corps Ball and asked Ella Langley to be his date via TikTok. The video has more than 1.6 million views and even includes him asking ChatGPT his odds. Answer, half a percent to two percent. He still shot his shot and asked if she might be “Choosin’ Utah.” No response yet, but the internet is rooting hard.

-----

Jelly Roll just dropped the trailer for his first-ever voice acting role. He plays a bear named Grizz in the animated movie GOAT. It’s from the creators behind Spider-Verse, and features Jelly’s new song “I’m Good.” The movie hits theaters February 13. The man is everywhere.
