Christmas was over 6 weeks ago but for Worsters, Christmas is now on February 8 as first off, Howard Stern confirmed he is in very serious discussions to become the new judge on American Idol...

Howard Stern told his satellite radio listeners on Monday that he is considering leaving Sirius – and radio altogether — to become a judge on “American Idol.”

Stern confirmed a report that Fox is interested in hiring the Sirius shock jock to replace Simon Cowell on the reality show.

“There’s not a better job on the planet than judging that f—ing karaoke contest,” Stern said.

Howard discussed the situation on his radio show today and if you're talking American Idol, you've got to talk votefortheworst.com as Robin (correctly) gave us credit for getting Taylor Hicks to win Season 5, and how awesome we are in general!

This audio clip also gives you a bit of an idea of what Howard would bring to the show. Fatties, get ready to be humiliated. Ugly girls, you needn't apply. Closeted gay men, get ready to get dragged out screaming.

In other words...VFTW Victory!!!

I'm not a fan, so whatevia. It doesn't matter anyway because the show is living on borrowed time. Stern would just be a nail in the coffin.

As much as I like the theory on paper? Do Not Want.

Stern would be neutered on broadcast television. Seriously guys, it would not be as cool as you think.

I doubt it'll last more than one season (if that) after Simon leaves. It already seems so odd to have all the changes from the last 2 seasons

It is just noise. Possibly related to his Sirius contract negotiations. There is no way he could be "Howard Stern" on American Idol.

I LOVE all the press that VFTW is getting from this! The tards at MJ's are stomping their hooves about it, so it must be a great idea.

Whatevs. I think Stern is a pig (as do a lot of others) and for a family show like AI I highly doubt he will be chosen as a judge. He is the "shock jock" and there's no way he can hold that title on American Idol. I call shenanigans.

If Stern is the judge for American Idol, this will be the BEST thing to come out of the show.

Howard Stern is a GOD.

This is too good to be true. And Idol never does anything too good to be true. Man would I love it though.
