Howard Stern on American Idol?

According to today's Page Six, that could happen, as the popular talent show is reportedly courting the shock jock to replace Simon Cowell (though a source is quoted as saying Stern might just be using this to keep Sirius XM on their toes and give him lots of money when his contract renews).

If it did happen, the frizzy haired mouth of America would surely be sharp and funny as he cuts down all those screechy singers, all while Ellen DeGeneres assumes an Abdul-like glow and tries to defend them.

And surely he's professional enough to know that he can't say certain things he can only get away with on the radio.

But does he really belong on what's basically a middle-of-the-road songfest, filled with way more shlock than shock?

Mightn't this water down his image and make him a little too accessible to Nebraska housewives?

And what would Chaunce Hayden think?

I dunno, if Howard asks the more attractive contestants to show him their breasts, I don't think Ellen and Randy would object.

You're suggesting the show is a step down for Howard, but isn't Howard a step down for the show?

Chaunce Hayden will probably write an article about how "Howard Stern is mean to Ellen DeGeneres!"

The genius of Fox is growing big ratings from a pile of manure.

Howard would pull in a lot of new viewers from his fan base.
He should demand more money than Simon made because of that.
SiriusXM would also benefit from the cross-promotion.

Jonster says:

I don't think he's gonna take it. It's not right for him. He can't be himself. He'd never be able to sit through the touring. He's got more money than Simon (?) and a gorgeous girl. He'd be nuts to do it. Give it to Musto!

Sensible choice, when it comes down to the undeserving, he will resort to playing fire with fire.

Jonster is right! Draft Musto for Idol!
Michael Musto for American Idol!

Never found him funny and neither does my dear friend Linda Ronstadt who famously tangled with shill, shrill no-talent Robin (my vajajay) Quivers!

Howard Stern is the King-of-All-Media for a reason.

American Idol (in its current form) is near death. the only thing that can save it, is an entertainer who can wake up the sleeping masses.

Stern has already conquered satellite radio, cable, and the best days of terrestrial radio.

Stern's fans would probably view his lo fi (AI) adventure as a watered down version of the real thing.

We'll see or maybe not.

I will admit that American Idol is getting a little old but I still like it because it is an "easy" watch for us.
