The List for Tuesday, November 29th 2022

Welcome to The List,

Howard Stern accused Oprah of showing off her wealth on Instagram.  Yesterday on his radio show Howard Stern, He said, quote, “Oprah’s not embarrassed by her wealth at all . . . It’s mind-blowing.  “You gotta be a little self-aware and know that there are people struggling out there.  You got to.  You gotta kind of think about people who don’t have enough to eat. “I mean, come on.  You gotta be a little bit aware of this.”

Jay Leno was back onstage Sunday night, two weeks after he suffered third-degree burns while working on one of his classic cars. Jay did an hour of standup at the Comedy and Magic Club in Hermosa Beach, California, where he’s been performing regularly since 1978. Reporters caught him on his way into the club, and of course, he had jokes.  He said, quote, “We’ve got two shows tonight, regular and extra crispy.”  Then he added, quote, “I never thought of myself as a roast comic.”

Jimmie Allen has his eye on a lot of different things…He says he wants to one day try Comedy, TV and Film. “I’d rather spend my life chasing a dream that might not ever happen.  Then to settle and one day look back and say I wish I would have.”

Netflix has a new series based on ‘The Addams Family’ called “Wednesday” If you’ve watched it you’ve probably noticed Wednesday Addams doesn’t blink too much.  Which turned out to be a request from Tim Burton. In an interview with “Teen Vogue”, Jenna Ortega who plays Wednesday said, “I did a take where I did not blink at all.  And Tim said, ‘I don’t want you to blink anymore’ . . .it’s a bit more intimidating.

The List for Thursday, December 18th 2025

Welcome to The List,

The Oscars are officially breaking up with ABC and moving in with YouTube. Starting in 2029, the Academy Awards will stream on YouTube, along with all the red-carpet chaos, through at least 2033. ABC still gets the show through the 100th Oscars in 2028, but after that, no channel flipping — you’re clicking a link.

Don’t expect to see Michael Bublé back in the spinning chair next season. He says he’s done with The Voice after dealing with online backlash and missing his family. An insider says the negative comments really took a toll, even though he loves the show and the crew. Sometimes the smoothest crooner in the room just wants to go home and be Dad.

-----

Blake Shelton shared the first time he brought Gwen Stefani home to Oklahoma and it blew her mind. Gwen, raised in Anaheim, saw Blake’s land and asked, “You own this?” Then she spotted a creek and said, “You can have that?” She thought rivers only came with national park admission. Blake called it one of the joys of his life. City girl meets country acreage…

-----

Morgan Wallen is now the highest-selling country artist of all time. He just picked up 80 new certifications and officially crossed 240 million units sold. Luke Combs comes in at number two, Garth Brooks at number three. Let that sink in. Skipped awards shows, topped streaming, and now sits on the mountain. Morgan let the numbers do the talking and they did….loudly.

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