Randy Jackson Back as Judge on ‘American Idol’

Randy Jackson was demoted to mentor on American Idol but negotiations with Enrique Iglesias fell through causing producers to scramble for someone with name recognition. Ergo, Randy Jackson is back as a judge on American Idol.

Asked for comment, Randy said, “Listen, dawg. The producer’s decision was a liiiiitle pitchy. But they really pulled it out at the end.”
