FOX wants Howard Stern to replace Simon Cowell on 'American Idol'
Straight from the shock jock's mouth: 'There's not a better job on the planet than judging that f*****g karaoke contest'. Is FOX just about ready to jump the shark by even considering putting Stern on the judges panel? I could see a few guest apperances to shake things up a bit-even Victoria Beckham was on during auditions (not only giving advice as a member of the Spice Girls, but counseling contestants on their fashion sense as well).
How about using this as a platform for Conan O'Brien? Rumor has it, and Rupert Murdoch has already said the net is very interested in having him. Couldn't you see him on the panel with his nasty sidekick puppet canine Triumph trading jabs with the contestants, Randy and Kara-now that I would tune in for.
Howard Stern on 'Idol' will certainly bring fans over from his Sirius gig and FOX may even see a ratings bump. However, in my humble opinion, that won't last and ratings will slide off the chart.
