The List for Thursday, June 16th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Even though Tim McGraw stars in 1883 a TV show about settlers. He tells HollywoodReporter.com that he doesn’t believe he would have made a good settler. “The first lush meadow I saw within three days of traveling, I would’ve said, ‘this is a good spot right here’.

This is kinda fun!!  With Father’s Day is THIS Sunday, “Sesame Street” is celebrating by unleashing a “Friends” parody.  Basically, it’s a fun song that re-works the show’s theme, “I’ll Be There for You”. It includes subtle “Friends” references, like a creative rendition of “Smelly Cat” . . . a puppet wearing Joey’s Thanksgiving turkey hat . . . and a nod to Ross’ “pivot!” You can check it out NOW

Carrie Underwood’s two little boys haven’t discovered her music.  Yet.  Isaiah is seven and Jacob is three, so you know they’ll eventually come around.  But as of right now, “I know the Blipie theme song, Isaiah would watch Power Rangers and then he’d be like could you play Power Ranger songs in the car. We’d go through that faze, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle songs.  Kids have terrible taste in music.” She played The Stagecoach Festival this year in California and says the best part for HER was when Axl Rose joined her to perform “Sweet Child O’Mine” and “Paradise City”

What’s more important than winning an Oscar?  To MOST actors the answer is NOTHING…but if you ask Samuel L. Jackson?  He’s over it!  He likes to GO to the Oscars…the gift baskets. But, he’d rather be Nick Fury or have fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.  He doesn’t care about the statue…he cares about the fans…

Chris Stapleton is getting his own exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame.  There will be tons of stuff to see, including instruments, clothes . . . and even his Waffle House Golden Waffle award as the most-played artist on their jukeboxes in 2019.  The exhibit will run from July 1st of this year, through May 14th of 2023.

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

The List for Thursday, February 5th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Rumors are flying that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have allegedly set a wedding date. A so-called source says the planning is “military-level precise,” which tracks, because Taylor hates surprises and Travis runs NFL playbooks for a living. Pop music, professional football, and Hollywood elite all in one room. Locked down, protected, unforgettable. Basically the most intense group project ever attempted.

-----

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison is launching a new dating show for people who want a “traditional, marriage-minded partnership built on commitment and shared values.” Which apparently is now considered edgy programming. Somewhere, reality TV just gasped. This is not roses and drama. This is compatibility and emotional maturity.

-----

Before Luke Combs made it big, he had $200 left in his bank account. That money went toward mastering one song, “Hurricane.” He releases it, sells about 10,000 copies the first week, and uses the cash to finish the rest of the album. Then pitches it to labels. And that, kids, is how you bet on yourself and win.

-----

Toby Keith, Kenny Rogers, and Ed Harris are being inducted into the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. The ceremony happens in April in Oklahoma City. They’re joining legends like George Strait, Brooks & Dunn, Kurt Russell, and Burt Reynolds. That is a hall with serious swagger. Cowboy hats optional. Legends required.

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