The List for Thursday September 3rd 2020

Welcome to The List –

Labor Day is just around the corner, and the Grand Ole Opry’s own network, Circle TV, will celebrate with a stacked lineup of country music-themed “Hard-Working Heroes.” Featured artists include Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Blake Shelton and many more. Labor Day programming kicks off at 7:00 a.m. ET with a 1980s-era episode of the classic country comedy show Hee Haw, featuring the late Charlie Daniels. To cap the night off, Blake will take the stage alongside Dustin Lynch and Trace Adkins. To learn more about the Grand Ole Opry’s “Hard-Working Heroes” event, visit Circle’s website.

Speaking of Labor Day and “Jobs” what are some of the worse jobs you’ve ever had? Here’s what Eric Church told me about his worst job… “I had an awful job. I’ve had a lot of awful jobs…my worst one was when I first came to Nashville. I got a job at the Shop at Home Network. I worked midnight, graveyard, midnight to eight. That was bad enough but then I would work all night, go home, shower and then I had writing appointments all day because I was trying to get a career started.

If you want to see the live action Disney movie ‘Mulan’ but don’t want to pay $30 to see it on Disney+, there’s another option…though it means waiting another three months. A help page on the Disney+ customer support website says that “Mulan” will be available for free to Disney+ subscribers starting on December 4. Before then, subscribers will have to purchase a “Premier Access” pass for $29.99 to see the film, which will be released tomorrow.

Carole Baskin will be one of the dancers on season 29 of Dancing With The Stars…She says she joined the cast because her life has been a nightmare since “Tiger King” premiered and tells us that while on the show she hopes the light that should have been shone on the cats during Tiger King will happen now. “Dancing With The Stars” returns September 14th.

The List for Thursday, March 26th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Hookup shows come and go. Paychecks apparently stay forever. Taylor Frankie Paul will still get her full Bachelorette salary. TMZ says the payday lands in the low to mid six figures. The season got shelved after that viral domestic violence video resurfaced. Reality TV motto. Love fades. Direct deposit survives.

-----

Some guys jog. Some guys apparently brawl with neighbors. “Reacher” star Alan Ritchson reportedly got into a physical altercation. Sources say intense behavior is kind of his brand at this point. He doesn’t think he crossed a line. Neither does the authorities,

-----

Country star meets horsepower. This feels aggressively on brand. Darius Rucker is now a NASCAR Cup Series team owner. He invested in Legacy Motor Club which competes at the top level. From singing about wagons to literally owning fast cars. That is what we call career acceleration.

-----

If you like free music. Nashville just planned your summer. CMA Fest announced around 150 artists for daytime stages. Names include Ernest, Melissa Etheridge, Tucker Wetmore, more. The free shows run June fourth through seventh downtown. Wallet stays full. Voice will absolutely not.

The List for Wednesday, March 25th 2026

Welcome to The List,

Ella Langley is getting ready to drop album number two. She says Dandelion will hit fans deeper than anything she’s done before. You can vibe casually… or go full lyric detective mode. She even compared the songwriting layers to Fleetwood Mac. Mark April tenth. Sad girl spring incoming.

-----

Reacher star Alan Ritchson just lived his own action scene. Police say he will not face charges after a street fight. Bodycam shows a neighbor approaching while he sat on his motorcycle. Things escalated and Alan reportedly defended himself pretty aggressively. Moral of the story. Do not poke action heroes.

-----

American Idol judges have some… very specific pre-show rituals. Lionel Richie takes a spoonful of olive oil. Yes really. Luke Bryan snacks on ranch and carrots like a chaotic toddler. Carrie Underwood crochets backstage to stay calm and focused. Somewhere Simon Cowell just rolled his eyes.

-----

The Yellowstone universe keeps getting bigger than a Montana sky. A new spin-off called Dutton Ranch is officially on the way. There’s talk fans might finally see Beth and Kayce reunite. Execs say scheduling two productions is the biggest challenge. Premiere date May fifteenth. Cancel your plans now.
