The List for Tuesday, January 19th 2021

Welcome to The List –

Charlie Pride may be gone, but Darius Rucker like so many fans just idolize Charlie Pride “Charlie went through a lot of stuff to do what he loved to do and he loved to sing country music. I would say no matter what happens to me as a black man in country music…I can handle it, if Charlie Pride could handle all the things he went through.”

Luke Combs has a lot of hit songs, awards and the man has got goals “I’m definitely gunning for that Entertainer of the Year spot and winning that at some point, I think would be a huge moment for myself, whether that’s this year or not, we’ll see. I want to eventually, I mean I think, headline in stadiums, I think one day is something that I’m hoping to do and I just have loftier goals and play The Super bowl. I want to do the halftime show at The Super bowl.”

Liam Neeson may be going in a different direction with his career…he’s talking about appearing in a comedy. “Seth McFarland is writing something for me. We’re going to try to resurrect, I don’t know if you remember the Naked Gun films with the wonderful Leslie Nielsen.  We’re going to try to resurrect one of those and see if it works.”

Time is ticking for President Donald Trump, and the word is he may have a last batch of presidential pardons…the question is Will Joe Exotic get a last-minute pardon? Joe’s lawyer Eric Love thinks so…so much so, that they have a limo waiting outside of the prison to pick him up.  He says the first order of business…get his hair done and go get a McRib…. it’s all about priorities…

You can catch The List weekdays at 2:20 and 4:20 on Iowa’s BEST Country KIX 101.1

The List for Friday, January 3rd 2025

Welcome to The List,

Actress Kristen Bell is eyeing a talk show now that Ellen DeGeneres has retired. A source says, “acting is not exactly her first love. Kirsten’s gift is connecting with people.” They think if she tries it…she’ll be a hit…

-----

‘’Only Murders In The Building’’ star Selena Gomez and fiancé Benny Blanco need to sort out some wedding details…and he’s letting her do just that…smart man…. Selena adores Benny, and she’s got zero doubt in her mind that they’ll last. She wouldn’t have said yes to his proposal otherwise.’’  Well, we hope not….

-----

Cody Johnson has had one heck of a 2024, and he’s looking to build on that – and his career in general – as he enters into 2025. Focusing on his music isn’t hard at all. In fact, it’s become second nature to him.  He says after his wife and kids.. country music is all he lives for…

-----

After rocking Times Square for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, Carrie Underwood spent New Year's Day somewhere where she also feels comfortable: Her kitchen. The country star showed off her latest in-kitchen shenanigans via Instagram Stories: Pressure-canning garlic, carrots and potatoes while baking some crazy looking bread concoction.
