Brad Paisley will step in as guest host on the Ellen Degeneres Show, Wednesday, December 29. It will be Brad’s first time hosting a daytime talke show. He has appeared on the show six times before.


1883 will premiere Sunday night on Paramount+.  The Yellowstone prequel stars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill but don’t expect them to burst into song. Tim says this is not a show that has anything to do with their singing. In fact, Tim can’t imagine his character, James Dutton, ever singing a note. That doesn’t mean Tim isn’t singing when the cameras aren’t rolling. According to his co-stars, he sings all the time.
