The List for Friday, December 8th 2023

Welcome to The List,

A Christmas TRAGEDY almost occurred in Buffalo, New York on Wednesday night.  Chevy Chase attended a screening of “Christmas Vacation”. . . and when he came out to greet the crowd, he fell off the stage.  Chevy was actually wheeled onstage in a wheelchair, but then he got up and walked toward the edge of the stage.  That’s when he went down. He’s okay though.

Chris Janson tells Whiskey Riff that during a recent Oklahoma City concert, he accidentally threw his harmonica into the crowd. He asked a fan, “Oh, are you okay?” Fortunately, the fan wasn’t hurt…there is a difference between “tossing” and “fast pitching” Chris…for next time….

GQ Magazine says Ben Affleck recently wore a custom pair of Dunkin’ Donuts Nike sneakers in Los Angeles. These unique sneakers were commissioned by Dunkin’ Donuts to celebrate the release of a movie Affleck worked on.  I bet when he takes them off it’s the sweet aroma of freshly baked donuts….

This is what you call a missed marketing opportunity: There’s a new movie coming out called “No Way Up”.  It’s about a plane that crashes in the Pacific Ocean and ends up submerged, but in an air pocket.  The survivors have limited time to escape, but there’s something standing in their way:  A SHARK has made its way onto the plane!!! And the question I have for everyone who had even a limited part in making this movie happen is: Why on Earth is this movie not called “Sharks on a Plane” ???

Morgan Wallen has to wear disguises in public these days.  Sometimes after going hunting, he’ll leave ON his cap, camo top, and face paint . . . so he can “sneak around, and maybe even visit a Mexican restaurant.”

Mariah Carey sent flowers and a note to Brenda Lee after her Christmas song “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
