Henry Winkler refused to let his daughter do reality TV.  Once, when a producer came to their house, he told him, quote, “I can suggest some really good restaurants, [but] my daughter is not doing your show.”

One of the funniest things to come from the show was George Strait’s reaction to the performances. Someone online said, “He looks like he’d rather be at a colonoscopy.” Here are some more big moments from the CMAs

  1. Cody Johnson’s producer, Trent Willmon, seemed to take a shot at Shaboozey during their acceptance speech for Best Album.  He said, “This is for this cowboy who’s been kicking Shaboozey for a lot of years.”  It’s unclear if it was a dig . . . or just a bad joke.
  2. Luke Combs had an incredible reaction after he got beat out by Chris Stapleton for Male Vocalist of the Year.  Luke was shocked Chris had won it EIGHT times.
  3. Megan Moroney seemed to lose her breath and struggle a bit during her performance of “Am I Okay?”  Fans were wondering if she was sick.
  4. Lainey Wilson was worried about a wardrobe malfunction because she had, quote, “like 10 outfits.

Since Morgan Wallen just won Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs. One of the things he’s best known for at his concerts, is the famous “Walkout”.  Morgan will livestream himself backstage walking out, usually with “Broadway Girls” playing . . . And he’ll show that to the crowd, and they all go crazy. And then at each new city stop, he’ll walk alongside a few well-loved celebrities and sports superstars from the area. Here are his some of his best celebrity walkouts:

1.  In Las Vegas, he walked out with Tom Brady and Mike Tyson. 

2.  In Kansas City, he walked out with Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and Chris Jones.

3.  In Tampa, it was Hulk Hogan and Baker Mayfield.

4.  At Cowboy Stadium in Dallas, Morgan walked out with Troy Aikman.

5.  At one of his shows at Neyland Stadium, where the Tennessee Volunteers play, he walked out with local-hero Peyton Manning.

6.  And at another show at Neyland Morgan walked out with the entire Volunteer Baseball team.  They were fresh off winning a National Championship.

“People” magazine named Luke Combs the sexiest 34-year-old on the planet this week.  John Krasinski is their Sexiest Man Alive this year, but they also have readers vote on different ages. What did HE think about it?  He was surprised. He joked with a reporter that 1990 must have been a “down year” for hot guys.  And when he heard “People” put him on a list, he thought it was for eating the “most cheeseburgers.”

Cody Johnson is fresh off an Album of the Year win at the CMAs . . . and he is NOT resting on his laurels.  On the red carpet, Cody said that in 2025, he’s going into the studio to record a new album . . . and he’s also touring abroad, in the U.K. and Australia. He didn’t share any other specifics.
