There have been 21 seasons of American Idol so far (with another coming next year) and throughout those two decades, there have been 14 different people who have sat behind the judges table.

The longest reign in the judges chair is 12 seasons while three different judges only appeared on one season. We bet you totally forgot that some of these people were even on the show!

Another fun fact is that only three seasons of American Idol have had four judges while the other 17 seasons all had just three judges.

One thing that has remained constant throughout all 21 seasons is that Ryan Seacrest has been the host every single year. The first season he co-hosted with Brian Dunkleman and then he was a solo host for the remaining 19 seasons.

American Idol is a cultural institution, and Season 21 is coming to an end tonight (Sunday, May 21) at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

The reality TV competition show – which kicked off as Pop Idol in the U.K. before launching in America in 2012 – has since spread all around the world with a bunch of international versions, all boasting major superstars for judges.

After airing on Fox from 2002 to 2016 for 15 seasons, it was on hiatus for two years until 2018, when a revival of the series began on ABC, and it’s aired ever since.

Over the years, plenty of talent has judged and mentored the contestants all the way to the top. And one by one, all of them have eventually left the show to go on and do other things – even the last remaining original judge from the U.S. series.

We’ve rounded up all of the judges who have since departed from American Idol, along with the explanations they’ve given for why they left the show.

Steven Tyler is asking for a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him in December 2022 to be dismissed.

The 75-year-old Aerosmith rocker was accused of entering a relationship with a woman named Julia Holcomb when she was approximately 16 years old in the ’70s.

At the time he was 25 and was serving as her legal guardian while she joined him on tour with the band. Steven seemingly referenced the relationship in his 2011 memoir, writing that he “almost took a teen bride.”

More than three months after the lawsuit was filed, Steven responded with claims of his own.

Steven Tyler has been indirectly named in a sexual assault lawsuit that stems from an inappropriate relationship he allegedly had with a teen in the ’70s.

The 74-year-old Aerosmith musician wasn’t explicitly named in the lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles by Julia Holcomb and instead refers to the accused as Defendant Doe 1 through Defendant Doe 50.

However, Rolling Stone noted that Steven was closely linked to Julia at the time of the alleged relationship. Additionally, the lawsuit quotes portions of his 2011 memoir Does The Noise In My Head Bother You.
