Gabby Barrett’s life and career is at the center of an documentary by Amazon Music called Breakthrough: Gabby Barrett. Gabby reflects on milestone moments — from singing in gospel choir when she was nine, to being on American Idol, to preparing for the release of her debut album, Goldmine. Breakthrough: Gabby Barrett premieres on Amazon Music on Monday.

I guess, WWE wrestler John Cena Never Gets Sick Of Hearing His Theme Song …“It’s been about twenty years, and I’ve heard that music every night multiple times five nights a week and I never ever get sick of it” He plays a character named ‘Peacemaker’ in the new James Gunn movie “The Suicide Squad” that is tentatively scheduled for an August 6th, 2021 release.

Jason Sudeikis talks to Ellen about how he and his family kept busy through the pandemic..playing video games, his daughter loves to sing, and bought his son Otis a drum kit for his birthday way back in April…”Why? Exactly, because we’re idiots, we’re idiot actors..we’re, artists we don’t know what we’re doing..we’re just oy yoy yoy…”

And finally, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Ellen talks about the importance of getting checked…”I get checked on a regular basis, you get into a routine as much as nobody wants to do it I’m so used to it now. I went in a little while ago, I went into the room, opened up my gown, leaned against the weird machine and the doctor came in said put those away I’m a dentist. My point is those medical buildings are big…make sure you’re looking in the right door”

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

The List for Thursday, March 19th 2026

Welcome to The List…

Hollywood’s biggest fear is officially here. Dead actors… still booking roles. A new movie is using A.I. to bring Val Kilmer back. Yeah. From the grave… straight to the premiere. The director says Val wanted this. His family signed off too. Which is great… until your Netflix suggestions start haunting you. Somewhere an Oscar just felt uncomfortable.

-----

Tom Brady says he wears a disguise to his kids’ games. Not kidding. Hoodie. Hat. Full undercover quarterback mode. Apparently the kids don’t want attention on them because… you know… their dad is TOM BRADY. Imagine trying to sneak into a gym when you’re built like a superhero statue. Sir… we still know it’s you.

-----

Rumor is Keith Urban might be going through a midlife crisis after the split. Sources say he wants to live the single life again. Totally different person now. Which honestly just sounds like every guy who suddenly discovers energy drinks and fitted jeans. Next step is obvious. Corvette. New Balance. Bluetooth headset.

-----

Kenny Chesney just launched his own record label. Big move. Real boss energy. It’s named after his boat… because of course it is. And the first artist he signed…drumroll… Kenny Chesney. Man skipped the middleman and hired himself. HR meeting must be real smooth.

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