Welcome to The List,
TV just lost one of its most wonderfully weird masterminds. Sid Krofft has passed away at 96. If you grew up on Land of the Lost or H.R. Pufnstuf, you know the chaos. Puppets, dinosaurs, talking flutes, zero explanation. We just poured cereal and accepted it like normal humans.
So yeah… the king of “what am I watching?” TV.

Craig Melvin is missing from the Today show this week… relax, he didn’t get fired. He just took a vacation, which feels illegal in 2026. NBC called in Hoda Kotb like she’s on permanent standby. “Hey Hoda, you busy?” Nope, she’s back like she never left.
Meanwhile the rest of us are still clocking in…

So if Choosin’ Texas has been your entire personality lately… congratulations, you can now dress the part. Ella Langley’s actual music video boots are up for grabs. Yes, real boots, real heartbreak energy.
Details are still rolling out, but hey… nothing says “I’ve healed” like buying the boots from the breakup song.

Alan Jackson is planning his FINAL show… and yeah, this one’s gonna hit right in the feelings. June 27th, Nissan Stadium in Nashville, and it’s basically country music’s farewell tour grand finale.
And he’s bringing everyone. Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Luke Combs… it’s less a concert, more a group therapy session in cowboy boots.
So start saving now… because closure ain’t cheap.
