Fox airs tonight American Idol episode featuring NPH as guest judge.
His involvement in the reality show was revealed back in
August. He might also appear in next week's
"Best of the Rest" episode.

Not I'm not enjoying Human Target (this week's episode with Sean Maher was the best of the bunch so far), just bitter for how Fox seems to know how to market Human Target, but seemed like complete amateurs trying to promote Dollhouse.
Anyway, wonder what the AI producers will use to introduce NPH segment. They'll probably just use his hosting duties at the Tony's or Emmy's, I bet it be a bit too much to hope for some Horribleness.

I haven't watched much reality-TV since my sister went off to do her Master's degree and so there's no reality-TV always on in the house (she has good taste too, but she consumed a crapload more TV than me because of her reality-TV hunger). I haven't watched an American Idol since...I can't remember. The year David Cook won ? (definitely one of the better/genuinely talented contestants/winners I've witnessed) And only one or maybe one and a half seasons before that.
I like Canadian Idol better, wish they would bring it back (it's on at least a 2-year hiatus, if not canceled, no one knows for sure) it's generally rockier than the U.S. Idol. I like some of the pop covers of American Idol, but there's way too much R&B/soul-ish soft stuff, too big and brassy at times (if the attempting singer can even pull off the big and brassy they're going for) for my ears. Been kinda hoping Glee would stay further away from that, but then again I suppose I should applaud that series for its diversity of song choices and it has surprised me in making a few songs I previously didn't like pretty bearable or even likeable (and I'm not even a music snob, I like cheese and generally-considered-quality and iffy musicals alike), despite the pre-recordedness and miming (as Saje calls it) being way too obvious/visually jarring in many of the numbers.

NPH was cool and relaxed (no surprise there), and looked like he was enjoying himself. He wasn't as nice as you would expect, which was a relief. Often, guest judges will be cloying and ineffectual.
In defense of the general snarkiness and fun-poking of the early rounds: Frankly, these people ask for it. They've seen the show, they possess little to no singing talent, they should know what's going to happen. For me, that level of self-delusion is fascinating. I mean, I can't sing. I know I can't sing. (Check out my handle.) To provide proof of that shortcoming in front of millions? Inconceivable to me. Yet, thousands do it, season after season.
And when someone steps up who actually has "It" - well, it can be dramatic.
(Please excuse me while I slink away to surrender my Guy Card.)

So, in short, I missed Idol last night, because the only channels my TV will pick up now (I have a digital adapter antenna inside) is NBC & Universal Sports. And, frankly, skeleton is far less interesting than NPH having to deal with Kara.
Sigh.
Oh, and the other judge? One of those Jonas Brothers, whatever they are. (Or so TV Guide online said.)
