The List for Friday July 3rd 2020

Welcome to The List I’m Jonathan Knight….

With Covid-19 on everyone’s mind, I can tell you Willie Nelson will NOT be slowing down because of it this holiday season…In fact, he’ll be having a busy 4th of July weekend: First he releases his 70th solo studio album, “First Rose of Spring,” today. Then tomorrow, Willie’s annual “4th of July Picnic” a hybrid live-stream/concert-film event in the virtual countryside. Tickets for the digital event — which range from $35 before tomorrow to $45 the day of the event — can be purchased at WilliePicnic.com, where the festivities will stream beginning at 4:30.

And because we’re talking about the 4th of July, lets talk traditions…Thomas Rhett has plenty.. “My girls love to put red, white and blue face paint on. Lauren usually puts ‘em in, like, an American flag ballerina outfit, and they love watching fireworks. They love grilling hot dogs and making s’mores, and we usually do it out at our farm with like 150 people. But this year, it probably is gonna look like we’re gonna have a few less people hanging out with us, but we do love to hang at Fourth of July and love getting to just celebrate that good American tradition.”

Lin-Manuel Miranda’s “Hamilton” is on Disney + … A filmed live performance of “Hamilton” is streaming now on Disney+. Lin-Manuel Miranda is excited that more people will now see the show than ever before. He says the word of mouth with “Hamilton” has been unbelievable over the past few years. Lin recalls how he used to mess up the lyrics to the show. Twitter users made sure to let him know about it. Lin isn’t sure what will happen with Broadway after the pandemic ends, but is glad that they could bring “Hamilton” into people’s homes. “Hamilton” airs on Disney+ today.

The Daily Mirror claims Tiger King star Carole Baskin has joined ‘Cameo’ and is now doing custom videos for fans. She charges $100 for shout outs, birthday greetings and hellos….I just got a shiver….

Can’t get out for fireworks? NBC has you covered with the Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks Spectacular. 8pm Central Celebrating America’s birthday in New York with music, a special performance by National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman and fireworks; performers include Black Eyed Peas, The Killers, Lady A, John Legend, Tim McGraw and Brad Paisley.

Have a safe and fun 4th of July weekend, and that will do it for The List, entertainment news from the Sunset Strip to Nashville’s Music Row…you can catch The List, live weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on IBC KIX 101.1

The List for Tuesday, November 4th 2025

Welcome to The List,

So apparently someone doesn’t like being looked at while dating a superstar NFL tight end. Taylor Swift reportedly dropped TWO million bucks on extra security so she can blend in at Travis Kelce’s games. Girl, you are literally Taylor Swift. Center of attention is kind of the job. Between the two of them, they’re spending eight million a year on security. She’s basically a small nation at this point.

-----

Lainey Wilson proved she’s queen of the yee-haw prank. At the end of her tour, she called her openers Muscadine Bloodline on stage for their normal sweet acoustic moment. But surprise. Their stools were swapped out with two classy… toilet seats. Nothing says “good show, boys” like resting your cheeks where strangers have gone before. Country comedy gold.

-----

Rumor mill alert. The Globe claims Keith Urban is not taking the Nicole Kidman split well. Sources say he’s exhausted, lonely, and struggling without her. They’re acting like he’s five minutes from writing breakup ballads in sweatpants, clutching a pint of ice cream. Apparently folks worry he’s emotionally fragile. Hopefully he finds peace, love, or at least a good therapist.

-----

Jonathan Bailey has officially been crowned People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive. If you don’t know the name, you definitely know the face. He’s Lord Anthony in Bridgerton, he’s in the Wicked movies, and popped up in Jurassic World. The internet is already swooning. Somewhere, Chris Evans is polishing his trophy like… “remember me?”

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

Laila 1/4/2025

OUR KIX CRITTER OF THE WEEK, IS LAILA

Laila is an adorable 1-year-old Pit Bull mix who came in as a stray. When she arrived, she was wearing a collar with a piece of tape on it — the only clue to her name. Beyond that, her past is a mystery, but excited to help her build a bright future.

Laila is full of love and energy! She adores people and is eager to please, but like many young dogs, she’ll need a home that can give her guidance, structure, and training to help her grow into her best self. She seems interested in other dogs, though still getting to know how she does with new friends, as well as kids and cats.

Since she came in with little background information, it may take some time for her true personality to shine as she adjusts to shelter life, but with patience and consistency, Laila will make a wonderful companion.

Her $75.00 (since she is the KIX CRITTER) adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, microchip, and health testing — everything she needs to get started in her new home. Find out more ARL Marshalltown

If you’re looking for a young, enthusiastic dog to join your family and you’re ready to put in the time and love she deserves, Laila might be the perfect fit!
