Simon Cowell confirmed with a laugh that he will indeed leave "American Idol" if it ever slips from the No.1 spot, guffawing at the idea of settling for anything less. Though "Idol" ratings are not what they used to be in the Kelly Clarkson days, it still remains the overwhelmingly most poplular televsion program on air, with 22 million viewers per episode. However, wth Cowelle's deal with Fox expiring at the end of next season, his next move is still up in the air. Perhaps he will renew with Fox and bring "The X Factor," UK's wildly popular singing competiton to the States. Cowell was quoted saying, “We have to bring in another music show. In the U.K., there is more than one type of music show running throughout the year. And I think the same thing could happen here, because for the fall, nothing really happens. It’s something we’ve been thinking about … I would definitely do it now.”
Simon, ever hear of something called "Idol overload"? Please, do not even tease us like that.
