'American Idol' Original Judges Returning for Final Season
The upcoming 15th season of American Idol will be the swan song for the one-time reality juggernaut, and according to Ryan Seacrest, all three of the show's original judges -- Randy Jackson, Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul -- are returning for one more go-round.
"I've spoken to all of them recently and we as a team have talked to them about coming back to do something for the final season," Seacrest told Access Hollywood on Thursday (Nov. 19). The longtime host added, "They are going to do it -- it's just a matter of figuring what to do with them."
