The List for Wednesday, May 3rd 2023

Welcome to The List,

Are you more interested in seeing a movie if there’s a certain actor or eye candy in the cast?  Well, of course you are.  The National Research Group conducted a nationwide survey of people aged 12 to 74 to see which actors have the most box office appeal.  The top three were…as you might guess…Tom Cruise, The Rock and Tom Hanks…I didn’t make the list…

As you’ve probably heard, Hollywood writers are ON STRIKE.  The Writers Guild of America voted to strike after they couldn’t make a deal by Tuesday morning at midnight. The big issue is compensation from streaming.  The late-night talk shows are all re-runs and If you’re a Pete Davidson fan, first of all . . . what is wrong with you?  Secondly, his return to “Saturday Night Live” this coming weekend is OFF.  THAT is what we call a silver lining.

Did you know Jelly Roll has a food truck in Nashville that sells jelly donuts?  It’s called the “Rollin’ with Jelly” truck, and they sell stuff like burgers and wings too.  The internet just found an interview he did about it last November, where he said it’s the “coolest story ever.”

It seems like EVERY country music star is trying to sell us booze these days . . . and Eric Church is at it again.  Eric has already done a partnership with Jack Daniel’s . . . and now he’s introducing his OWN whiskey. It’s called “Whiskey JYPSI” . . .The first release is available for pre-order in 38 states . . . and Eric isn’t shy about asking you to open up your wallets.  Bottles start at $199.99 apiece.
