On tomorrow night’s broadcast, Ellen DeGeneres officially joins the American Idol judging table. While we’re looking forward to this debut, many viewers are already contemplating next season. Still shocked by the news of Simon Cowell’s exit , they’re left to wonder: who will replace this British icon? Howard Stern has an idea: himself! “I can’t imagine anyone else but me replacing [Cowell],” Stern said today. “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?” All good questions, but surely there’s someone out there that’s outspoken and more knowledgeable about music than he is about lesbians or sex toys. Stern says quite clearly he’d do the show… if the money is right. “It might be possible, we’ll see,” he said. “They’d have to pay me a ton of dough, because I already make a ton of dough.” Stern’s five-year, $500 million contract with Sirius radio expires at the end of this year. Do you think he’d make a suitable replacement for Simon?
