Welcome to The List,
Jimmy Fallon is getting more bad press over the Writers Guild strike. The word is that the non-writing staff of the “Tonight Show” is being placed on an unpaid leave of absence, beginning next week. The kicker is that employees from “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers” will continue to be paid. And “Late Night” is on the same network as Fallon: NBC. It’s not clear who’s paying the non-writers on those other shows, so it’s impossible to say at this point whether Fallon is stiffing his people or not…But, if they’re not working!!

Reba McEntire was asked what artist she would like to do a collaboration with. “You know what, I’ve never recorded anything with Garth. Never have, so, that might be something to look forward to.” Reba just announced that she’s extending her current tour after the fall. She’s bringing Terri Clark with her and the Isaacs. Then there’s The Voice next season…Reba’s got a full plate..

“Reality TV” has got ANOTHER show to add to the frey…ABC is debuting a new series this fall called “The Golden Bachelor”. It’s basically “The Bachelor” for senior citizens “in search for a partner to share the sunset years of life.”

Sylvester Stallone has his own “reality show” now called ‘The Family Stallone’ catchy. “Well, I’ve always wanted someone to film me while I’m brushing my teeth you know? Who wouldn’t.. you wake up and your hairs like this..who wouldn’t want that documented?” His Daughters Think He’s A Diva they say that he’s always the last one to leave the house because he’s always working on his hair. ‘The Family Stallone’ premieres today on Paramount+.

Arnold Schwarzenegger tells The Hollywood Reporter that he is done playing the Terminator. Saying, “The franchise is not done. I’m done. I got the message loud and clear that the world wants to move on with a different theme when it comes to The Terminator. Someone has to come up with a great idea. After 4, 5, and 6 I kinda lost faith in it…but HEY we still got Fast & Furious right?

Welcome to The List,
Game show host Chuck Woolery died on Saturday at his home in Texas. . . . TMZ reports that he went to lie down because he wasn't feeling well.
Chuck was the original host of "Wheel of Fortune" back in the late '70s . . . he went on to host the "Scrabble" game show in the '80s . . . and of course "Love Connection" from 1983 to 1994.
He also did some later shows, like "Lingo" on the Game Show Network, and "Greed" on Fox.
There's no word on a cause of death, Chuck Woolery was 83…

"Billboard" put out their list of the Top 100 Country Singers of All Time . . . and some folks are less than pleased. Specifically, because Taylor Swift was ranked above Brooks & Dunn, Hank Williams Jr., and Toby Keith. Also, Jason Aldean didn't even make the list at all..what’s THAT all about…..

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes is making around $50 million a year. But now, his wallet will be 0.03% LIGHTER . . . thanks to FINGER GUNS.
The NFL has fined Patrick $14,069 for the "violent gesture" he made last week, while celebrating a touchdown. He'd just scored on Buffalo, and Patrick used both hands to mimic firing dual pistols.
Let's be honest . . . he wouldn't have been fined for mimicking a bow and arrow . . . throwing knives . . . or dramatically acting out the extremely violent "finishing moves" from "Mortal Kombat". (Although that would be amusing.)

Chris Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn are now tied with the most CMA Awards in history. They have 19 wins each.
