For a considerable length of time, "American Idol" viewers have complained that the results shows are just a lot of filler to sit through to learn who's going home that week. All things considered, when the show begins up again in January, you won't need to sit through results demonstrates any more - for in any event piece of the season.
Pretty much as ABC's " "Dancing with the Stars" did, the long-running Fox show, which debuts Jan. 7, is downsizing from two nights to only one.
"One of the things I'm actually looking forward to this year which is totally different: We're going to do the performance show and the results in the same show," "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest told reporters Friday night in New York City. "So there won't be a 'Wait 'til tomorrow night.' There won't be a 'Coming up, coming up, coming up.' We're going to have to put it into one formatted night. So that'll be exciting."
Seacrest said, then again, that the consolidated shows won't happen until later in the opposition.
"When we get to the final stage, y'know, the top 10, there'll be one night of performance and results all in one," he explained.
Seacrest likewise talked eagerly about the new face who'll be joining the "Icon" group come January: Scott Borchetta, the head of Taylor Swift's record name, Big Machine. Borchetta's supplanting long-lasting "Icon" installation Randy Jackson as the show's in-house tutor.
"Clearly, when you look at Scott's track record, look at all the people he's worked with, including one Taylor Swift, and I think he'll be the perfect fit for our show," Seacrest said. "I think it'll be great."
Appraisals for "Idol" have relentlessly declined from record highs in the early years. A year ago, appraisals significantly dipped, with the normal viewership for the season slipping underneath 20 million without precedent for 10 years.
