It’s the end of an era: 76-year-old Pat Sajak is retiring as the host of “Wheel of Fortune”. The 41st season that starts in September will be his last. But he’ll be sticking around as a consultant for three years after. Pat’s been the host of the syndicated version since it debuted in 1983. There’s no word who will replace him.

If I had tickets to see Chris Stapleton in concert, the last thing I’d want to do is get kicked out. Some idiots at his concert in Massachusetts started fighting, so Chris stopped the show and gave them a stern talking-to. He reminded them that everyone paid good money to have a good time . . . and if they can’t do that too, then “get the hell out.” Seems they did.

CMA Fest this year was another success…more than 90,000 people attended each day this year. Which is a new record, some 50,000 went to the concerts each night. The whole world loves this event.

It’s hosted by Dierks Bentley, Elle King, and Lainey Wilson . . . and it airs July 19th on ABC .

And lastly, a new grasshopper species has been named after Willie Nelson. The grasshopper was discovered in Texas and is named Melanoplus Nelsoni. It makes sense Harrison Ford gets ant and a spider named after HIM…and Willie Nelson gets a GRASS…hopper…
