It’s coming back a sixteenth season in 2018. In the meantime, check out the 10 most memorable things about American Idol.
10. Ryan Seacrest
American Idol turned Ryan Seacrest into a household name. On the show, he’s the good cop. It doesn’t really matter what the judges say – he is there to smooth things out, so auditions can end on a better note. No word yet on whether or not he will be returning.
