A few days back, Simon Cowell announced that after the 2010 season of American Idol, he will leave the show that made him famous. Cowell says that he will turn his attentions to his music and television companies, and even begin making movies. Cowell said, “I run a record label, I run a TV company, we're making movies now - I love that part of my life. I probably get more satisfaction from making a show than being on a show.”
The decision to do only three more seasons of American Idol isn't an arbitrary one: he has three more left on his contract. While this may be a disappointment to fans of Idol, it's also probably a good thing. No one likes to hold on to a high-profile gig for too long, especially when it happens to be a gig on the biggest show in television history. This does bring up some interesting questions. Can Idol survive without Simon Cowell? And, will Idol last past 10 seasons anyway?
