'American Idol' to make comeback

'American Idol' to make comeback“American Idol,” the most popular music reality show in United States television history, will return to the screen on ABC in 2018, the network announced on Tuesday.

The show, which was cancelled by Fox Television last year after 15 seasons, was once a ratings powerhouse, watched by more than 30 million viewers at its peak in 2005-2007.

The glitzy talent show that launched the careers of Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood among others, eventually fell victim to declining ratings.

ABC did not name a host or reveal the judges, leading many people to question whether long-time host Ryan Seacrest might make a comeback on the new version.
