The List for Friday, July 18th 2025
Welcome to The List,
Big TV shake-up—The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is getting the boot in May 2026. CBS says it's “financial,” but Colbert says he’s not being replaced, the whole thing’s just... poof. Gone. Like your favorite shirt that mysteriously vanished after laundry day. Oh, and while we're at it—rumor has it Jimmy Fallon might dip before his contract ends in 2028. Late night is getting late, folks.

So Coldplay’s doing their usual feel-good show in Massachusetts—when the camera catches a couple swaying together... until the dude DODGES out of frame like it’s a game of dodgeball and the woman looks away. Chris Martin jokes it off—“affair or just shy?” Uh…turns out it was an affair. Internet sleuths say he’s a tech CEO and she’s the Chief People Officer. And not his wife. Cost of concert: hotel $200, tickets $600, snacks $150, divorce attorney $50,000…

Ella Langley says the moment she met Eric Church, she nearly passed out—and not from heatstroke. When he slid his sunglasses down and said "Hey"... her soul left the building. Can confirm: even tough country girls short-circuit when The Chief makes eye contact. No shame, Ella. We’d ALL faint a little.
-----
Tim McGraw says a family album may never happen—because apparently, he’s the worst singer in the house. Yeah, when Faith Hill and three powerhouse daughters live under your roof, you’re basically background noise. Tim says it’s like a NASCAR trying to keep up with a Formula One car. So... Faith’s Beyoncé, and Tim’s... the guy clapping offbeat in the back.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
