For the last few weeks, everyone has been talking about American Idol coming back to TV after just a year of hiatus. There were rumors NBC wanted it, then CBS, then Fox and finally last week ABC became the frontrunner. Which was doubly good for them because they just hired Ryan Seacrest to host Live with Kelly and Ryan. Does that mean that the former host will also be the current one?
Kelly Ripa asked him that very question today. He told her, “I don’t know about that part yet. We haven’t gotten that far.” Then he revealed, “This was news to me actually last week.” When he heard the rumors, just like we did, he made a call and they told him yes it is a possibility it is coming back. When it comes to him coming back with the show, he doesn’t know if he can do it. To which his work wife told him, she will do everything in her power to make sure he can.
In fact, she was so much more excited about him hosting the show than he was. Which makes you think that is the case because she wants him out of her and that is a good way to do it. I am sure she didn’t want a name as big if not bigger than hers to co-host with her.
When it comes to Seacrest hosting, I would be OK if they found a new host. I think it is time to try something different because what they were doing wasn’t working which is why Fox cancelled it. I think ABC is too loyal to their Reality show people and it hurts their shows. I would love love love to see new Judges on Dancing with the Stars, but they have kept the same old ones for all of these years. Variety is good.
Do you want American Idol back? Do you want it back with Ryan Seacrest?
After 15 seasons, American Idol is saying goodbye tonight at 8p on Fox. Even though I haven’t watch the show in years, I have to admit I am a little teary eyed about it.
Back when the show started, I enjoyed watching it every week. Calling my friends and family in NYC for results. Getting in fights with friends over who should win. I still say Clay Aiken won the second season.
On that note, look at all the stars that came from the show. There’s Kelly Clarkson, Justin Guarini, Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry, Katharine McPhee, Carrie Underwood and so on…
But the most important thing about American Idol is that brought it people together. Hopefully after some time off, it will come back as strong as it once was. Television needs a show like what the singing competition was its first few seasons.
Will you miss American Idol?

Before Ryan Seacrest was the host of American Idol, he was lip syncing songs like Bon Jovi’s Runaway. How awwwwdorable was the young and chubby preteen back in the mid-’80s?
He is just as awwwwdorable now talking about it on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon last week as he was then.
Now that American Idol is ending, that means that Ryan Seacrest will be out of one of his many many many jobs in a few months. What will he do about that? Looks like he found a new job pushing food carts in a Vegas hotel, so is that the case? Nope, as he explained, “no vegas u can’t tempt me w carbs and sugar, I will stay strong in 2016 #CES2016.”
Although, he looks like a natural, doesn’t he?
Ryan Seacrest shared a Selfie he took with the judges from American Idol and I think we can all agree that Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr all come off very stiff in it. Even the energetic host looks flat.
But on a positive note, they all look picture perfect and shiny.
