NEWS'American Idol' Judge Lionel Richie Makes NSFW Confession After 'The View' Cohost Sara Haines Asks Him 'Intimate' Question
Lionel Richie shocked fellow American Idol judge Katy Perry after making a sensual confession during their Tuesday, March 28, appearance on The View.
The hilarious back-and-forth occurred after cohost Sara Haines admitted she had "a little more intimate question" for the Grammy Award winner, before asking him for the "backstory" to his sexy hit "All Night Long."
"Well, if you really wanna know, I’ll do a fast version," he replied without skipping a beat. "First of all, let me give you the first part I have to really, really say to you. When I wrote All Night Long, it was truly all night long. Now my all night long is down to a fierce 15 minutes."
Added Richie, "But don’t worry about that, we’ll talk about that later!"
All the panel members, including the "Teenage Dream" artist, immediately burst into laughter at the crooner's surprisingly candid confession.
"Is this show live?" Perry quipped, then turned to look at the "Hello" singer to joke, "Fifteen minutes? That’s long, bud."
