Seacrest can't leave - he is good for quite a few laughs every night - at his expense.

FOX is confirming that Steven Tyler is leaving American Idol! Wow. Here’s the press release, with quotes from Steven. Well, he and his band got the career boost they needed, at least. I have to wonder, though, if he left or was pushed? In the end, except for a few lulz, he was pretty useless as a judge. It will be interesting to see who takes his place.
Steven Tyler has decided to depart his role as a judge on AMERICAN IDOL. Tyler served as a judge during the 10th and 11th seasons of IDOL.
“After some long…hard…thoughts…I’ve decided it’s time for me to let go of my mistress ‘American Idol’ before she boils my rabbit,” said Tyler. “I strayed from my first love, AEROSMITH, and I’m back – but instead of begging on my hands and knees, I’ve got two fists in the air and I’m kicking the door open with my band. The next few years are going to be dedicated to kicking some serious ass – the ultimate in auditory takeover…On Nov. 6, we are unleashing our new album, Music from Another Dimension on the Earth, Moon, Mars, and way beyond the stars…IDOL was over-the-top fun, and I loved every minute of it…Now it’s time to bring Rock Back. ERMAHGERD.”
“It’s been a tremendous honor to have Steven – one of the most prolific artists in the world – on AMERICAN IDOL for the past two seasons,” said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “He’s been a terrific judge, a true friend and great mentor to everyone involved with the show, and we know he’ll continue to be a huge inspiration to IDOL hopefuls for years to come. We are very sad that Steven has chosen to focus more on his music, but we always knew when we hired a rock ’n’ roll legend, he would go back to the music. We all wish him all the best and would love to have him back on the show anytime.”
“Steven Tyler is a real ‘Idol,’ a rock legend. If you had told me 10 years ago he would be a judge on AMERICAN IDOL, I would have thought it impossible,” stated IDOL creator and executive producer Simon Fuller. “The fact that this became a reality and we had the pleasure of him gracing our stage for two seasons makes me very proud. I completely understand his desire to get back to his life as the singer in America’s greatest-ever rock band. AMERICAN IDOL will miss him!”
“We’re all very thankful and privileged that Steven joined AMERICAN IDOL two years ago,” said Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO, FremantleMedia. “A true music icon, he not only brought rock ’n’ roll to the show, but also his exceptional taste in spotting and nurturing undiscovered talent. We will sincerely miss his poetic phrases, his remarkable creativity and his unique spirit. We’re sad about his departure from the show, but understand his decision to return to music full-time and hope he’ll be back to grace the AMERICAN IDOL stage in seasons to come.”
here is the history of the meme.I had to look it up because I had no idea what is was

It’s OH MY GOD with a speech impediment
I say, hire Jamie Farr, Jaye P Morgan and Artie Johnson and Chuck Barris and call it “The Gong Show.”
“UPDATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON: Steven Tyler has left “American Idol” to rejoin Aerosmith (See below– I thought that would happen.) After I ran this story this morning, a couple of sources say that Randy Jackson may want to leave anyway. And JLO told the “Today” show she’s up in the air. Changes are afoot…”

Hmm,so is the takeaway from that article that Jackson was leaving if Tyler stayed???
Just as long as JP keeps her top on this time...it has been a few years!

I gather you also refused to watch when Ellen Degeneres was one of the judges? She loudly proclaimed after a contestant duet of the song “Have you ever loved a woman?”, that she likes the song because she loves a woman.
YOu are correct....I did not watch when Degenerate was “judging”.
I have the homo agenda crammed into my face every damned day in the news...I dont want it crammed in my face when I am trying to relax!
I'm interested in stating my opinion that Tyler has turned into a pathetic caricature of his former self.
Retire already, old man!
I didn’t watch when Degenerate was on either. I don’t watch Glee either.
Hi Mags, I couldn’t agree more! I refuse to give show like that ratings where they think its ok to bring that crap into my home.
That's great. I'm so proud of you. Thanks for letting us all know which shows you don't watch.
Check #45, I was asked.
You might accept the gay agenda, but I don’t.
I’ve seen Steven Tyler’s beach photos....... It wasn’t pretty.
LOL Ya got THAT right!
We can’t do the thread w/o you! They better not put lambert on. You are hilarity itself.
I think there is now a gay quota on tv. You have to have at least one. And Nigel only LOOKS gay. He’s British.
Where is Steve’s right hand?
