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..

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?
