Is Simon Cowell leaving American Idol?

He told the Mirror, “Most people do one show a year and I do three and they involve a lot of traveling. One may have to go.  I don’t know which one. That is the problem, I like all of them. I can’t imagine not doing ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and I can’t imagine not doing ‘X Factor.’ But I guess America (Idol) is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end.”

“I don’t want to come over as whiney because I am very grateful that I have got these jobs, But there is a point where I am not sure we can keep this schedule up. It takes longer and longer to make these shows because you have to put more into them, and I am not sure we can sustain me doing three shows a year, with the record label and the TV production company.”

In addition to being a judge on “American Idol,” Simon is also a judge on “X Factor” and “Britain’s Got Talent” which airs in Europe.
