It’s an Idol bombshell! Ellen DeGeneres is taking over Paula Abdul’s seat on the Idol bench.
American Idol may have just gotten a whole lot funnier with the addition of their fourth judge—Ellen DeGeneres! Fox announced the news saying Ellen would join Simon Randy and Kara at the judges table this season, after the audition rounds.
At a taping for her talk show Wednesday the funny lady told her audience what a huge fan she is of Idol and how excited she is about her new gig. She said, "I'm going to have a day job and a night job.”
Simon Fuller, the exec producer and creator of the show released a statement saying
Ellen has been a fan of the show for many years, and her love of music and understanding of the American public will bring a unique human touch to our judging panel."
We can’t wait.
