The List for Tuesday, November 15th 2022

Welcome to The List,

As reported late yesterday, Jay Leno suffered serious burns to his face on Saturday, when one of his cars burst into flames inside a garage in Burbank.  According to TMZ, Jay burned the left side of his face, but there was no damage to his eye or ear. He was taken by ambulance to a place called Grossman Burn Center, but it's not clear if he's still there.  He had to cancel a gig on Sunday in Las Vegas. He did release a statement yesterday saying, that he’s ok, and he’s taking a couple weeks to get back on his feet.

-----

Christina Applegate made her first public appearance yesterday since being diagnosed with MS.  She was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  She used a walking stick and posed barefoot with her star. There were speeches from her "Married...with Children" co-stars Katey Sagal and David Faustino.  And "Dead to Me" co-star Linda Cardellini and creator Liz Feldman. And Katy stayed with Christina at the podium during her speech, for support.

-----

Morgan Wallen didn't win a CMA last week, but that's okay, because he had a really good year.  He says it's because he stayed focused and did the work. "I think we played like 75 shows or something this year.  And I did them all mostly in a sober state of mind.  I was really, really focused."

-----  

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield are selling cannabis-infused edibles shaped like bitten ears.  They're called Holy Ears.  Mike bit a chunk out of Evander's ear during a fight in 1997. They say it’s all about helping people…

-----

The people over at the CMA’s are happy today!!  They found out the ratings for this year's CMA Awards were UP compared to last year.  According to the "Hollywood Reporter", 7.6 million viewers tuned in this year, compared to 6.8 million last year.  The 2021 number was an all-time low, so the organizers are probably relieved that the show got a bump this year.  Probably had a lot to do with the hosts…Eli Manning and Luke Bryan…maybe…

-----

Goin to Vegas next summer for vacation?  Win big money and see Garth Brooks too!!  The Las Vegas Review-Journal says Garth Brooks is going to do a Las Vegas residency. The shows at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace will take place in May, June, July, November and December of 2023.

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

Pack The Backpack: Kim Hurley

JANUARY RECIPIENT:

Kim Hurley – 2nd Grade Teacher – Franklin Elementary School

NOMINATED BY:

Toshia Arends (co-worker)

TOSHIA’S LETTER:

I am a para at this school and I see this teacher, as well as all of the staff at this school, go above and beyond every day for the students. She definitely has her hands full with 2nd graders as attention spans are short, they talk constantly and out of turn and they like to see how much pressure a pencil can take before it breaks (among destroying other supplies she is constantly replacing). She is a very, calm, sweet, loving and caring woman with the patience of an angle for sure. And I believe she just deserves a little thank you.
