The List for Wednesday, November 2nd 2022

Welcome to The List,

Tiz the season!!  Retailers are out with their Holiday specials and Gwyneth Paltrow is no different. She’s released her Goop Holiday Gift Guide.  Some of the most ridiculous things on it include a $420 Gucci bag for dog poop, an infrared sauna for $8,099, Bolin Webb 24-Karat Gold Razor Set: $425.  Only peasants use plastic razors…Some of the things can’t even be listed here. Merry Christmas!

In case you missed it, Jimmy Fallon announced on Monday’s show that he and Dolly Parton recorded a holiday song.  It’s called “Almost Too Early for Christmas”, and it’ll be out Friday. Jimmie explains how he posted the announcement on Tik Toc and Tik Toc took it down..because he didn’t have the rights to the song…

On Monday’s “Late Late Show”, James Corden told a joke that was almost identical to something Ricky Gervais said in a 2018 Netflix special.  Ricky called him out, and James acknowledged it was Ricky’s joke. Oops.  Yesterday Corden went on twitter and acknowledged the chaos and that he inadvertently told a brilliant Ricky Gervais joke on the show not knowing were it came from.  Probably his writers…

Oprah hasn’t officially released her “Favorite Things” list for the holday’s yet but Gayle King tells Entertainment Tonight that Oprah carries two secret things in her purse that are now part of her Favorite Things List. “Oprah actually carries truffle salt in her purse. She just really loves the stuff so you’ve got hot sauce, you’ve got the oil and you’ve got the sauce — $60 for what we call the starter kit, very nice!”

Travis Tritt was forced to cancel the remainder of his tour because of increased severe pain in his left knee.  He has a possible torn meniscus.  In a statement he said, quote, “Unfortunately, the pain has become impossible to ignore and I will not be able to do any further shows in November.”

If you’ve ever thought Luke Bryan was full of energy and wondered if this man EVER slows down….the answer is no! Luke Bryan tells ABC that he doesn’t know how to slow down. “I think with me, obviously, I’m very, very, busy professionally. I mean, I don’t even know what weekends are like. I just grew up waking up, getting after it. So, you know, work hard, play hard.”

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

The List for Thursday, March 13th 2025

Welcome to The List,

Imagine paying good money to see Chris Stapleton live… only to take a nap. That’s exactly what an Australian couple did—out cold in the middle of the concert! Their friends, being absolute menaces, surrounded them with empty beer cans. When the couple woke up, they had a full-blown hangover without the fun part.

-----

Blake Shelton just can't seem to stop with all the onstage PDA.  First Trace Adkins told him no more kisses on the cheek.  Now this . . .A video of Blake bringing an 84-year-old lady on stage for a birthday hug is making the rounds online.  It was pretty cute.  It happened two weekends ago at his show in Greensboro, North Carolina.  She was out in the crowd with a sign that said, "May I hug you for my 84th birthday?" (WARNING:  He says the word "damn" early on in the video, and the song lyrics include the phrase "wild-a**."  She shows up on stage around 1:20.)

-----

RadarOnline.com says the Oscars bosses are considering offering Chris Rock a huge sum to host the 2026 Academy Awards in hopes he can inject excitement back into the show. It seems he has unfinished business following the Will Smith affair and he'd be a huge audience winner.
