Howard Stern for American Idol

American radio legend Howard Stern says he is serious about participating as a judge on American Idol.

Howd Stern is said to have admitted he is even considering leaving his lucrative Sirus radio gig to become a judge on “American Idol” in the next TV season.


“There’s not a better job on the planet than judging that f----ing karaoke contest,” Stern told listeners during his Sirius satellite radio show.

“It might be possible. We’ll see,” said Howard Stern, adding that the network would "have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough.”

News Corp said it was interested in hiring the shock jock.

"A $100 million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I would do that show for $100 million,” Howard Stern joked.

If Howard Stern was to join American Idol, it would be to replace departing judge and Idol porducer Simon Cowell.

"If I do say do myself, I can't imagine anyone else but me replacing him ... How else are they going to make that show work? Who knows how to broadcast and who knows how to be interesting? And who's not afraid to speak their mind?"
