Welcome to The List –
Get ready for more Jon Pardi! He’s announced a new, eight-episode digital variety show, called ‘Pardi Time’ A combination of music, day-to-day life and his signature, goofball humor. ‘Pardi Time’ will air on CMT starting next Thursday, October 6th.
We got to talk to Russell Dickerson and when we asked what his first concert was…this is what he had to say. “I’d say, that most people would probably think Garth Brooks was like my first experience ever in music. But, it was actually ‘Hanson’…that was my first concert. Everyone needs a little MMM Bop in their life”
Matt Stell remembers his first job…and the ‘creative’ things he learned, “My first job was really working for my dad, a little bit on the farm but ah…mainly water lining he was a contractor and I got to work every summer and put some money in my pocket and learn how to say swear words in a creative way.”
Adam Sandler says he’s talked to Chris Rock and Is excited he’s Hosting ‘SNL’ Tomorrow Night “I talked to him a few nights ago, it’s going to be awesome. There’s nobody that will be more prepared that will come up with stuff…it’s going to be a good night”
Last night Jimmy had a ‘Joke-off’ with Michael Che and Colin Jost…“Here’s the Setup Police in Louisiana arrested a man after he went swimming in the aquarium at a Bass Pro Shops..and…go!
Colin Jost – “Weirdly he was charged with being to sober for a guy at a Bass Pro Shop…”
Jimmy – “Even worse he wore his facemask as a banana hammock”
Michael Che – “The guy wasn’t in jail very long…it was more of a catch and release….”

Welcome to The List,
Lainey Wilson and former NFL quarterback Devlin "Duck" Hodges were one of country music's most beloved couples of 2024, so it's only natural that fans are buzzing about whether they might be taking the next step and tying the knot sometime soon. Bunnie Xo is wondering, too. She confessed to Wilson that she's "manifesting" a wedding for her in 2025. Lainey has even offered to propose to HIM!!

It's not too unusual for Luke Combs to tease new music before releasing it, but this time, he's got one important question to go along with his unreleased demo. "Who should I duet this with?" he asked fans as he posted a clip of something that appears to be titled "More Less Than Perfect." Combs' new song is a love ballad with lyrics that appear to be directed at a person who fell in love with him, even though he thinks he doesn't deserve her attention.

Blake Lively has filed a lawsuit against her "It Ends with Us" co-star and director, Justin Baldoni, according to court docs…as well as the film’s production company, Wayfarer Studios. Lively filed a sexual harassment complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Rights Department on Dec. 20. On Dec. 31, Baldoni and his publicists also sued the New York Times for libel, after the news outlet published a Dec. 20 article about Lively's claims that she'd been the victim of a smear campaign after speaking up about sexual harassment on the set of "It Ends with Us."

And lastly, Megan Markle started the new year with a fresh Instagram post from a newly launched account. In it, the Duchess of Sussex happily runs barefoot along the sand on a beach while wearing a white button-up shirt and a pair of white jeans rolled up above the ankle. Writing 20-25 in the sand before running out of the shot. Though the former “Suits” actress, 43, turned off the comments for the post, several stars showed their support by “liking” it, including her pals Serena Williams and Chrissy Teigen.
You can catch The List, weekday afternoons at 4:20 with Jonathan Knight. Only on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1
