You’re not living in a parallel universe, but you might as well get used to the phrase “American Idol, live from ABC!” The reality singing hit is officially coming back for another round, moving from its FOX home in a surprising upset for the major networks.
Just when you thought American Idol had floated back out to sea, ABC may be throwing a lifeline. The Dancing With the Stars network has reportedly made a bid for the 2018 revival where FOX and NBC couldn’t, but Ryan Seacrest might finally be too busy to participate.
It wasn’t terribly surprising that FOX would say goodbye to American Idol after so many years, but word that NBC might look to revive it alongside The Voice came more unexpectedly. Now, FOX is reportedly bidding for the rights to bring American Idol back on its own, almost exactly as we remember it.
Poor Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic. They both faced some awkward moments while talking to -- or attempting to, anyway -- celebrities on the 2015 Grammy Awards red carpet.
They're back! 'American Idol' judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban, Harry Connick, Jr. and longtime host Ryan Seacrest will all return for the singing competition's upcoming 14th (!) season.
