Welcome to The List –
Charlie Pride may be gone, but Darius Rucker like so many fans just idolize Charlie Pride “Charlie went through a lot of stuff to do what he loved to do and he loved to sing country music. I would say no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music…I can handle it, if Charlie Pride could handle all the things he went through.”
Luke Combs has a lot of hit songs, awards and the man has got goals… “I’m definitely gunning for that Entertainer of the Year spot and winning that at some point, I think would be a huge moment for myself, whether that’s this year or not, we’ll see. I want to eventually, I mean I think, headline in stadiums, I think one day is something that I’m hoping to do and I just have loftier goals and play The Super bowl. I want to do the halftime show at The Super bowl.”
Liam Neeson may be going in a different direction with his career…he’s talking about appearing in a comedy. “Seth McFarland is writing something for me. We’re going to try to resurrect, I don’t know if you remember the Naked Gun films with the wonderful Leslie Nielsen. We’re going to try to resurrect one of those and see if it works.”
Time is ticking for President Donald Trump, and the word is he may have a last batch of presidential pardons…the question is Will Joe Exotic get a last-minute pardon? Joe’s lawyer Eric Love thinks so…so much so, that they have a limo waiting outside of the prison to pick him up. He says the first order of business…get his hair done and go get a McRib…. it’s all about priorities…
You can catch The List weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)

Chris Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn are now tied with the most CMA Awards in history. They have 19 wins each.
You can catch The List, weekdays at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
