Not only will we have to get used to watching “American Idol” without seeing Paula Abdul at the judge’s table, now we will have to get used to “America’s Got Talent” without David Hasselhoff. 

Hasselhoff announced he is leaving the show after four seasons. 

NBC executives released a public saying Hasselhoff has “been an integral part of the success of America’s Got Talent, and we are sad to see him go. We wish him all the best with his new show.”

No word yet on who his replacement will be when the fifth season airs this summer.  His fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Piers Morgan will remain on the show.

  See, now I could see Ellen on this show because it's a variety show. They don't focus on music only. I wish Ellen the best of luck on American Idol because I love her, bu I wish that American Idol would have found an entertainer that has had experience in the music world like Queen Latifah, Whitney Houston, Gloria Estfan, a past American Idol contestant, etc. I also wish there was a blog about Ellen being on American Idol, so I could see what other people think BEFORE they actually see her in action.
