Welcome to The List,
Award season is gearing up with the Grammy’s this Sunday and the ACM’s in April…
Miranda Lambert’s song “Bluebird” is up for Best Country Song and Best Country solo performance this year at the Grammy’s and she gets to perform her song. It must mean a lot for her to be there. “For music, you know we haven’t been able to do what we love to do so. Getting to come to the Grammy’s and perform and have your song celebrated, it means the world.” The Grammys air Sunday on CBS
Now, we turn to the ACM’s AND Keith Urban will be hosting. But he made a call to Mickey Guyton to ask a very special question. Would you be up to co-hosting with me..and she said “Yes, Yes! Do I have a pulse!! Of course! I’m trying to be really calm right now and professional,” It’s really hard to be calm when you get asked to co-host the ACM’s we get it…The 56th ACM Awards airs Sunday, April 18th on CBS.
This week we shared that Bear Grylls may have been placed on the list as one of a few that maybe stepping into the shoes of Daniel Craig to play James Bond. “I wish that I had the acting chops for it, but I’m very flattered to anyone that suggested it, thank you.” Bear is to busy doing real man stuff, like repelling off of mountains, surviving harsh environments and coming out the other side laughing…James Bond might take some lessons.
Rolling Stone magazine says props from classic movies like “Alien,” “Die Hard, and “Batman” are heading to the auction block. The “Hollywood Legends” auction is scheduled for April 28th in Beverly Hills..
– Sean Connery’s “James Bond” Walther P5 pistol
– Bruce Willis’ tank top from “Die Hard”
– Al Pacino’s pinstripe suit from “Scarface”
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
