Considering his contract with Idol expires at the end of next season, he's not able to appear on other networks until 2012. In late March, he told Reporter, "It doesn't make a lot of sense to host a show competing with Idol...I think it's possible to be the face of another show in the future, but at this point I certainly have not even gone down that road because Idol is in a great place, so I think we're just enjoying that and we want to focus on that."
