So, is it true that Kane Brown working at Lowe’s used to sing at work? “Yes I got to ah, it’s kinda were my music career started. I used to sing in the halls and the aisles. All of my co-workers used to tell me to sing louder, and I remember always being around that was my family.”

Missouri.  They chose:  Evan Peters from “American Horror Story”.  They could have chosen:  John Goodman, Don Cheadle, Dick Van Dyke, Jon Hamm, Don Johnson, and for Iowa it HAD to be Ashton Kutcher
