Randy Jackson Hints He’ll Be Appearing On American Idol Season 20
Randy Jackson might be making a surprise appearance on American Idol. Randy was one of the show's three original judges for 12 of the 15 seasons that aired on FOX. Randy sat alongside fellow original judges Paula Abdul and Simon Cowell for eight and nine seasons, respectively. Randy judged with Kara DioGuardi, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez for two seasons each, and Keith Urban, Nicki Minaj, Mariah Carey and Ellen DeGeneres for one season each. He left his judging role after season 12 but returned in the middle of season 13 as the in-house mentor, replacing Jimmy Iovine. Throughout Randy's entire time on Idol, Ryan Seacrest was the host.
