Nigel Lythgoe Moving on

Nigel Lythgoe is stepping down as a producer on American Idol for next season. Nigel is apparently negotiating a joint-venture deal with Simon Fuller and 19 Entertainment, and still working on So You Think You Can Dance…so no more time for Idol! I guess A.I. wasn’t Sophie’s choice.

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    So American Idol is past its prime. I don’t think SYTYCD is looking so healthy for the long-term, either.

    Well, about time.

    Now maybe they won’t make the Idol kids sing songs from 50 years ago. The point has been to create a current recording artist, yet they make them sing hits from the 60s. Flawed logic.

    This might be just the makeover that AI needs.
