The List for Thursday, December 1st 2022

Welcome to The List,

Al Roker was hospitalized earlier this month due to blood clots in his leg and lungs . . . but he was released just in time for Thanksgiving. However, on Friday, he had to be rushed back to the hospital.  A source says, quote, “His condition was worrying, but once back in the hospital he improved.” Al is still in the hospital, so he missed last night’s lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center . . . just like he missed last week’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the first time in 27 years.

“People” magazine named four celebrities as their People of the Year for the inspiring work they’ve done. Matthew McConaughey for his help with Uvalde, Quinta Brunson she created the sitcom “Abbott Elementary” on ABC and won an Emmy for it. Jennifer Hudson for her talk show and becoming the youngest woman to achieve EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) and Mila Kunis for her work on raising money for refugees in Ukraine.

Do opposites attract and can it really work? Jason Aldean and his wife are proof that opposites attract and yes they can work. He says he and his wife are completely different.  “I love to hunt, she love animals. I love sports and she don’t care you know…it’s just..whatever”.

Shane Profitt has an ideal woman…The “How It Oughta Be” singer says  “I need a woman that’ll drag me to church on Sundays when I get home on Saturday night from a show.  She makes me go to church, and she can make biscuits from scratch with gravy.  That’s the ideal woman.” Lady’s there’s your ‘in’…

The trailer for “Cocaine Bear” is out, and it looks amazing.  It’s based on a true story of a cocaine shipment that gets tossed out of a plane, and a bear gets ahold of it.  It sounds like a pretty wild, dark comedy.

The search for the new James Bond continues and may be getting closer to who they’re looking for…Kick Ass and Bullet Train star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has become the front-runner to replace Daniel Craig as James Bond. Johnson reportedly took a top-secret screen test in September. A source tells the news outlets. He is now one of the front-runners.”

The List for Thursday, April 2nd 2026

Welcome to The List,

Horror fans, buckle up, because nightmare fuel just got a backstory. That creepy Aunt Gladys from Weapons is getting her own prequel. The same witch who basically ruined recess forever. Now we’re diving into her origin story. Cool, cool… just what we needed. Sleep is officially canceled this fall.

-----

ABC went full chaos for April Fool’s Day, announcing Miss Piggy as the next Bachelorette. Twenty-five men competing for love, drama, and probably karate chops. Jesse Palmer hosting, roses flying, egos bruised. And yes, they even joked about criminal records. Finally, a dating show where someone might actually get slapped on night one.

-----

Garth Brooks might be hitting the road, but apparently his nerves got there first. Reports say he’s stressed about touring and not having Trisha by his side. Because even country legends need emotional support spouses. Between legal drama and stage jitters, it’s a lot. Moral of the story, even Garth gets the pre-show butterflies.

-----

Taylor Sheridan says if critics are mad, he’s doing his job right. The guy behind Yellowstone is basically trolling reviewers on purpose. He wants them fired up, writing angry think pieces. Because nothing sells like outrage and cowboy drama. Imagine getting paid to annoy people… oh wait, radio.

The List for Wednesday, April 1st 2026

Welcome to The List,

Meghan Markle allegedly thought she could jump the royal line. A new book claims she believed she should be queen next. Said she was smarter, better, and worked harder than Kate. That’s not confidence, that’s skipping the entire family tree.

-----

Two Blackhawk helicopters hovering over Kid Rock’s house raised eyebrows fast. Army pilots got suspended while the investigation played out. Then the Defense Secretary stepped in and shut it down. Suspensions lifted, no punishment, case closed just like that.

-----

Keith Urban might be ready to say a little more. A report claims he felt iced out of Nicole Kidman’s interview. She talked family and life but didn’t mention him once. Now there’s talk he could finally tell his side. Nothing says romance like a possible press tour response.

-----

And if you saw Jason Aldean storm off Colbert… relax. That viral story is completely made up from top to bottom. Wrong show name, bad details, zero credible sources behind it. The internet really said “let’s just create chaos today.” Moral of the story, not everything trending is actually true…I know…surprise right??
