00:00American Idol is coming back in January, but there's going to be a major twist.
00:05So for 24 seasons, they've been going to Hollywood, right?
00:12Like you get the golden ticket, you go to Hollywood.
00:14They're not going to Hollywood this year.
00:16What?
00:16For the next deployment of American Idol, they're going to Music City.
00:23Nashville, baby.
00:25Wow, that's huge.
00:26That's going to be kind of a big deal.
00:28And it seems to make sense to me because I feel like not only, you know, Carrie Underwood is one of the judges.
00:35She lives in Nashville, obviously.
00:37Luke Bryan.
00:38I don't know where Lionel Richie lives.
00:40Ryan Seacrest is bi-coastal.
00:42So why not give him a chance to be kind of in the middle of the country for a little while?
00:46But all the guests that they have on that are going to be helping out, they're all living in Nashville already.
00:53So it just makes it easier.
00:54You know, it's so funny, too, because for so many years, when you get the golden ticket, you said, I'm going to Hollywood.
00:59Yeah.
00:59And so it's going to be a little weird.
01:01It's like the whole we're going to Disney World thing.
01:03I was just going to say.
01:04On the Super Bowl.
01:05Yeah.
01:05Like, what are they going to say?
01:06We're going to Nashville.
01:09You got to change it.
01:10I'm going to shoot a point.
01:10Yeah.
01:11That's great.
01:12I mean, that's cool, though.
01:14Yeah.
01:14I think that it makes sense.
01:15Yeah.
01:15And it's probably going to be a whole lot easier to manage than in Hollywood.
01:20Yeah.
01:20I just feel a little bit bad for Seacrest, though, because, you know, he does his radio show in L.A.
01:29Yeah.
01:29He does Wheel of Fortune in L.A.
01:31Yeah.
01:31And now he's going to have to do this and then go back.
01:33Yeah.
01:34It's just going to be a lot.
01:35But hey.
01:35But at least, right.
01:36He's getting compensated.
01:37But he was coming in to do the show with Kelly, right?
01:41Oh, yeah.
01:42Right?
01:42Yeah.
01:42In the mornings.
01:43In New York, yeah.
01:43And then he was going back and forth for those things.
01:47God bless him.
01:48I mean, and it's Nashville.
01:49Who doesn't want to be there?
01:50It's so great.
01:51Love Nashville.
