Welcome to Tuesday and The List!!!

Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood have pushed back their upcoming Facebook concert after potentially being exposed to the coronavirus, according to a statement posted on the couple’s social media accounts yesterday. The concert was set for today. Meanwhile, the statement also notes that Brooks’ “Inside Studio G” shows will also be postponed for two weeks.

Naughty Gossip says Kelly Clarkson has been undergoing a makeover following her divorce announcement. A source tells the website ,“First the move to Hollywood, then the divorce, what’s next massive weight loss? We have seen this happen to Adele, and now it’s going to happen to Kelly. She has changed a lot since she got her TV show. Rubbing elbows with big movie stars and invited to all the cool events, Kelly has gone from being that girl next door, to believing she is the next Ellen. Now she has managers and agents and staff to keep friends away and turn her into someone new.”

Calls have been made to “cancel Hamilton” you know the show that ran on Broadway and won 11 Tony’s and has grossed $1 billion worldwide, has now been called into question for it’s glossing over the slave trade area of the time and whether Alexander Hamilton was part of the slave trade. It’s happened just days after the Broadway musical’s streaming debut on Disney+, after a renewed focus on its lead character, Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. The show, created by Lin-Manuel Miranda, portrays Hamilton as a “young, scrappy, and hungry” immigrant and someone who was passionate about the abolition of slavery.

It looks like the “Friends” reunion special is a go! and David Schwimmer Can’t Wait … The “Friends” cast will be reuniting soon for an HBO Max special. David Schwimmer says; “I guess what I’m honestly most looking forward to is just being in the room with those other five actors. It’s five, right? That was a joke! But being on the actual soundstage on the actual set for the first time in 10 years, the set that we shot on for 10 years, that, to me, is going to be a really meaningful experience.”

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??

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