The host-writer-producer said he only sees himself as a host because 'I don’t know that I’d be able to sit behind the desk and just give feedback.'
in 2002, that then-producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick originally heard him on the radio in Los Angeles when they were planning the show and “thought that I might fit the panel to be up there with whoever else was already on.”
“I guess Simon [Cowell] was already on board, and I don’t know who else at that point,” he added. “And I was like, ‘Well, wait a minute. I would love to audition to be the host.’ And so I auditioned eventually to be the host. And I got the job. So I’m happy to still have the job.”
