But I can&amp;#039;t help but be a little wistful since Simon announced yesterday that it&amp;#039;s his last season. Losing Paula was bad enough, but now this? I can&amp;#039;t take it. Yes, the show is about the talent, and truthfully Randy is my favorite judge, but Simon makes it all so\u2026entertaining. (And have you ever noticed that most of the time he&amp;#039;s right on the mark?) Who&amp;#039;s going to fill his seat at the judge&amp;#039;s table? We&amp;#039;re thinking someone who&amp;#039;s not afraid to mix it up a little. Here&amp;#039;s our short list: Conan Hey, he might be looking for a job. And he&amp;#039;s crazy funny. Wanda Sykes Two words\u2014biting humor! Dolly Parton Love Dolly! She&amp;#039;s got the musical know-how and she calls it like she sees it Piers MorganReminds us of Simon, but different Who do you think should be the next American Idol judge?
