to put into words what ‘American Idol’
means to me. I’m so grateful for the show
and all the career and life opportunities it’s
allowed me to experience. It’s been an
incredible journey from day one’.
He continued to say, ‘to be asked to return

an honor, if not a bit surreal. I believe ABC is
the perfect home for ‘Idol,’ and I’ve every
confidence the show’s legions of fans will
love it especially ‘Idol”s best traditions of
showcasing heartwarming stories,
remarkable talent discovery, and, best of all,
