Welcome to The List,
If you could have a celebrity over for Thanksgiving, who would it be? Morgan Freeman topped a list of celebrities we’d MOST like to invite over for Thanksgiving dinner. Robert Downey, Jr. was second. Others who made the cut. Jimmy Fallon, Hugh Jackman and Jennifer Aniston.

If you spent any time watching “Chrisley Knows Best” on the USA Network . . . you should be aware that the Chrisleys do NOT know best. Back in June, Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty on federal charges of bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiring to defraud the IRS. They’d been caught submitting fake documents to take out more than $30 MILLION in loans to “fund their lavish lifestyle.” Todd was sentenced to 12 years in prison plus 16 months of probation, while Julie got seven years behind bars and 16 months of probation. Their shows have been canceled, obviously.

Miranda Lambert has a new cookbook coming out next April called, “Y’all Eat Yet?”. It features recipes she learned from “two generations of hell-raising, hard working women who knew how to make people feel good.”

Jackson Dean is ‘Yellowstone Famous’ knew “Don’t Come Lookin'” would be featured on “Yellowstone”, but seeing the actual episode as it aired, blew him away. “They played a like minute and a half of my song, [and] then it goes to Kevin Costner, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God, there’s a piece of film in the world that has my song playing and Kevin Costner in it at the same time. This is insane.” He’s been watching Kevin Costner’s work all his life and it was pretty mind blowing for him.

Author Stephen King has yet to get into the holiday spirit. He ranted yesterday on Twitter: “The political ads stopped just in time for the Christmas ads to start. The next time I hear ‘Holly Jolly Christmas’ I’m gonna blow up my radio. I forget what is the male equivalent to a ‘Karen’ ?

Lauren Alaina, Scotty McCreery, and Chris Young are some of the rotating set of performers at this year’s “Opry Country Christmas”. It’s eight nights of shows at the Grand Ole Opry, and they start November 27th.
You can catch The List, weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Brantley Gilbert sang “Dirt Road Anthem” at the Turning Point USA halftime show, and Zach Bryan took it personally. So Zach dropped a parody called “Chili on a Hot Dog,” basically roasting the lyrics and celebrating double-fisted chili dogs like it’s a county fair championship. Brantley fired back by grabbing two foot-long chili dogs on stage and acting it out. Jason Aldean chimed in with, “Best song I’ve heard from that guy.” Nothing says country unity like processed meat.

Thomas Rhett admitted on a podcast he’s losing hearing in one ear at 35 and had to get hearing aids. Years of loud concerts… plus four kids and a fifth on the way. He wore them for a week and asked his wife, “Is this what you hear all day?” She basically said, welcome to marriage. Turns out the loudest tour of his life is at home.

There’s a new indie horror movie called ‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’, told entirely from the haunted house’s perspective. No close-ups. No dramatic reaction shots. Just the house silently watching a woman search for her missing father. It hits video on demand February 13th. So now even the drywall is judging you.

Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says he’s working on Top Gun 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 6. He told Screen Rant it’s basically a horse race. Right now Top Gun is barely ahead, waiting on a script. So Maverick might fly again… or Jack Sparrow might stumble back in. Hollywood is saying…. originality is overrated.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
