American Idol’s failed singer wannabe reporter Chris Bernheisel was told by Simon Cowell during the auditions that he could report on the red carpet from the American Idol finale for his local Fox affiliate in Fresno. But as the time grew closer, he was not getting all of his demands from Fox and the Fresno Fox affil, so he threatened to sue if he did not get all his demands for how he wanted to cover the red carpet and the deal fell through. Well Jimmy Kimmel was touched by his story and made an on-air offer to Chris that he could cover the AI finale red carpet for Jimmy Kimmel Live! if he followed all of Jimmy’s demands. As you can see Chris learned his lesson and we will get to see if Simon Cowell got it right when he told Chris he could cover the AI finale red carpet on May 21st.
Hopefully he will do a good job on the red carpet and not let Jimmy Kimmel down.
BTW on a American Idol/Jimmy Kimmel Live! note, next Friday Ryan Seacrest and Clay Aiken will be guests on the show!!!`
