American Idol is one of the most beloved TV shows of recent years, drawing masses of viewers every week. It is an American singing competition that airs on FOX. It came out on June 11, 2002, and has since become one of the most celebrated shows on American television. A fragment of the Idol franchise, it is a twist from the reality line up Pop Idol, which was discovered by British entertainment executive Simon Fuller and first aired in 2001 in the United Kingdom.
The line up seeks to discover the best singer in the country through an arrangement of nationwide auditions. The American public calls the shots of the conclusion of the later stages through phone voting. The judges give their commentary of the contestants' performances: record producer, music manager and Grammy award-winner Randy Jackson; pop singer, Grammy award-winner and Emmy award-winning choreographer Paula Abdul; music executive and music manager Simon Cowell; and record producer, singer-songwriter and Grammy award-winner Kara DioGuardi. The arrangement at first displayed three judges, with Kara DioGuardi added in the eighth season. The show is hosted by television personality Ryan Seacrest. Comedian Brian Dunkleman co-hosted with Seacrest in the first season. The American Idol band is led by Rickey Minor.
As is the custom, the show airs on Tuesday and Wednesday nights in the United States and Canada, Wednesday and Thursday nights in Australia and Asia, Thursday and Friday nights in the United Kingdom and Friday and Saturday nights in Israel.
