Carrie Underwood talks to Jimmie Fallon about how she’s been living Xmas all year, about choosing songs for her new album ‘My Gift’, and about recording ‘Little Drummer Boy’ with her son. “He did get all dressed up, I walk out to get ready to go to the studio and I looked at him and said ‘well, look at you all you know wearing a button up, he dressed himself. Jeans which he doesn’t like wearing jeans at all and he was like ‘well, I’m going to go sing for Jesus so I need to look nice.” Her Xmas special, ‘My Gift: A Christmas Special From Carrie Underwood ‘ is available now on HBO Max. and her album, ‘My Gift’ is available now.
We got a chance to ask Jon Pardi what his plans for Christmas this year are “ I think it’s just gonna be chill, staying home, a couple friends over, cook a meal and just celebrate Christmas low-key.

Welcome to The List,
Eric Church ain’t just strumming guitars—he’s breaking ground! His nonprofit just kicked off their first housing project ever in North Carolina, and he's calling it a “lifeline.” Basically: Eric’s out here building more than just houses—he’s laying down heart and soul, hammer in hand. Move over HGTV, Church is coming in hot!

Ella Langley just showed up and chose violence—with eight ACM noms to her name! Right behind her? Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson with seven each. Oh, and Reba’s hosting, so you know we’re gettin’ sass, sparkle, and possibly a rhinestone mic drop. May 8 on Prime Video—yeehaw, y’all!

Chris Rock is not laughing—again. Word is, he’s ticked at Will Smith for milking that Oscars slap in his new music. Chris says Will’s still “arrogant and self-serving.” Honestly? Hard agree. Will’s trying to rebrand like we forgot—but we remember, sir. We remember.

Ryan Coogler is on fire right now—his horror-musical Sinners just crushed the box office, and next up? A reboot of The X-Files! He says it’s “immediately next” on his to-do list and yes—he’s already talked to the iconic Gillian Anderson. Quote: “She’s incredible. Fingers crossed.” He promises it’ll be “really friggin’ scary” and made “for the real X-Files fans—and maybe some new ones.
