The List for Monday, April 5th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Kelsea Ballerini was filling in for Kelly on “The Voice” while she was sick. Behind the scenes it was a pretty quick turn around “Kelly called me at 7pm Nashville time and they were shooting the next day at 1pm in LA. On the flight over she sent me all the blind auditions, everyone on her team what she loved what she was looking for.  So, as soon as I landed, you just downloaded all of your incredible knowledge.” Kelsea said it was like going back to college and cramming for an exam.

Carrie Underwood talks about her new gospel Album, ‘My Savior’ and how scary and hopeful it was in the making. “I feel like the entire time, that we were making the album, I felt like I was praying the whole time. It was all just so hopeful, inspirational and joyful. In such a time when there’s so much fear and having no idea what was around the corner or what the next month or week would bring. Getting to work on this music was peaceful to me.” Carrie livestreamed a concert featuring her new album from the historic Ryman auditorium in Nashville and raised over 68-thousand dollars for the charity ‘Save The Children’  if you’d like to see the livestream concert it’s available for free for the next 48 hours on Carrie Underwood’s Facebook page.

The Falcon and Winter Soldier Anthony Mackie And Sebastian Stan were on the Kelly Clarkson show and Sebastian shares something about Anthony, “ There’s a big, big soft side behind that mountain, and I’ve seen it…I’ve seen it.  sometimes it comes out.” Anthony wishes Sebastian wasn’t such a hermit…ah, the love…can’t ya just feel it….

And who knew!  There’s a new “Fresh Prince of Belair” in the works but Alfonso Ribeiro tells Hollywoodlife.com that HE has no plans to be a part of it.  Adding, it’s NOT a re-boot but a reimagining.  A completely different show with none of us really involved in it.

You can catch The List weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.

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