Nigel Lythgoe Perpetuated the Lame Gay Jokes on American Idol

Coming as no surprise to us, Celebitchy says that the lame and offensive gay jokes that Ryan Seacrest and Simon Cowell spouted on seasons of Idol were encouraged by ex-producer Nigel Lythgoe who found them "hilarious." With Ellen DeGeneres coming on board as a judge, current producer Simon Fuller has told the two lame guys to cut out the gay jokes. Is anyone surprised that the 7 seasons of Simon Cowell telling male contestants to put on dresses and mocking Ryan were perpetuated by Nigel? It took Nigel leaving the show to have the first sort of openly gay contestant do well without jokes being made. Nigel's homophobic tendencies have been documented before, so we hope he's having fun on his Dance show. Because gay guys clearly stay out of dancing, so he's home free.

Nygel is a bitch who never made it for lack of talent, so now he judges talent competitions (That's the speech he gives to auditioners).

Without Mia Michaels, there's no reason to watch his shitty show anymore. His stupid comments and Mary's horrible screeching drives away viewers in hordes. I was happy that they were getting dancers other than contemporary but the pimping on this show almost puts Idol to shame. Just go away Nigel, American television doesn't need any more babbling Englishmen.

Best line in the article - "Simon and Ryan have had their fun poking at each other’s sexuality for eight seasons now, even though neither one of them is gay."

Yes, because god forbid anyone think they were gays!!!!
