We love Carrie Underwqood here. And, she loves lots of people, famous people.

2012 means in with the "new" and out with the "old."  And, earlier this week, I decided to clean out my kitchen cabinets and throw away some "non-perishable" food that I hadn't gotten around to eating . . . IN YEARS!  After filling two huge bags, Jaclyn and I decided that we would show you what I found and prove, once and for all, that there is no such thing as "

Yesterday at the Christmas Wish office, Jaclyn reached into her bag and noticed that someone had opened her Christmas Tree snack cake, taken a bite, then wrapped it back up and put it back in her bag.  Naturally, she accused me!  Now, on any given day, there are DOZENS of volunteers our Christmas Wish office.  Any single one of them could have reached into Jaclyn's mongrammed 31 Bag and taken out

The Louise Mandrell Christmas Dinner Party is now playing at Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville and, last night, Jaclyn, Dave Spencer and I went to the show!  Louise sang, danced, played a variety of instruments and told holiday stories about the Mandrell family.  Before the show, the staff inside the Tennessee Ballroom served up an amazing holiday dinner with all the trimmings!  And, when it wa

Saturday night is a very special night at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.  As you likely know by now, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and the Opry is again celebrating with an amazing, star-studded line-up.  This morning, on The WBKR Waking Crew, Moon and I chatted with my good friend April Hyde, who gave us all the scoop about how the Opry will "flip the switch" pink this wee

The WBKR/Halloween Havoc Road War is Saturday, October 22nd!  And lots of teams will be on hand trying to conquer tha "scariest road trip in town" in an attempt to win the grand prize of $1,000.00!  The "road warriors" who have competed before know exactly what to expect from the event, but we have been getting alot of questions at the station from folks who are interested in d

HALLOWEEN HAVOC is again the proud sponsor of our annual WBKR Road War, a city-wide, Halloween-themed  "scavenger hunt" that offers teams a chance to win $1,000!   Each year, for that event, Halloween Havoc outfits the WBKR staff so we can man (or woman) the checkpoints on the Road War course in style.  So, Jaclyn and I decided that we would go to the store and do a Halloween fashion sho

Wednesday, Jaclyn and I celebrated Grocer's Day at Houchen's IGA on 25th Street in Owensboro.  In fact, there were American Cancer Society teams at every Houchen's location in the area selling pink ribbons for ACS' breast cancer research programs.  WBKR is a proud supporter of the American Cancer Society and its two primary fundraisers each year, Relay For Life and Making Strides.  So, naturally,

Forget what you've heard about the disappointing ratings.  Forget what you've heard about the decline of Simon Cowell's popularity!  As they say in England, it's all rubbish.  The X-Factor debuted on FOX a couple of weeks ago and is doing what talent shows on television are SUPPOSED to do!  (Sorry The Sing Off!  All your groups sound exactly alike to me!)  The show is finding talent and AMAZING ta

Can you believe this?  The Grand Ole Opry turns 86-years-old this month!  And the folks there are gearing up for a huge Birthday Bash this weekend.  In fact, Friday night's show features Jason Michael Carroll, Crystal Bowersox, Charley Pride and more!  And Saturday's show features Rascal Flatts, Ronnie Dunn, Craig Morgan and whole hand-full of Opry legends.  The 86th Birthday Bash is just one of t

Even now, he KNOWS what you're thinking!  THE AMAZING KRESKIN is coming to the RiverPark Center in downtown Owensboro on Sunday, October 9th!  Earlier this week, Jaclyn and I had the chance to chat with Kreskin about his show and what he has in store for us.  In addition to being one the nation's most famous "mentalists," Kreskin is really cool and was a total blast to meet and chat with

Monday night, the newest cast of Dancing With The Stars strutted its stuff for the first time this season.  And viewers were probably left wondering how Elisabetta Canalis (better known as "George Clooney's ex-girlfriend) made it on the show.  Is she really a "star?"  One viewer who was definitely scratching her head . . . KIZZY from The WBKR Waking Crew.  In fact, she was fired up
