Wait, is American Idol still on?!

2. Or maybe, just maybe, you really only know him from his once a year hosting duties on ABC’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.

3. But did you know that in 1997, Ryan was the host of Click, a children’s game show based on the internet?

Fun fact: The game show also included the annoying dial-up sound whenever the contestants went “online.”

4. And of course Ryan, being the fashion peacock that he is, hosted the show dressed like a late ’90s boy band cliché.

Although I don’t even know if those qualify as frosted tips, he looks like he just stuck his hair in a vat of hair bleach.

6. But there is one thing Ryan still has today that he even had back then.

7. Awkward interactions with young people!

Posted on February 27, 2015 by idolseason

now that i'm a judge, when someone sings poorly, instead of sending them home, can I send them to prison? #idoltonight

— Harry Connick, Jr. (@HarryConnickJR) January 15, 2014

Wow, Harry Connick, Jr. is just starting his first season as a judge on American Idol and he’s already hinting that he could be tougher on the contestants than Simon Cowell ever was.

Update:

Connick, Jr. introduces many to the pentatonic scale:

— Darnell (@DarnellTigers85) May 23, 2012

We’re just hours away from finding out if our newest American Idol will be Jessica Sanchez or Phillip Phillips! If our timeline is any indication, Phillips seems to have swayed the majority of voters in his direction after the amazing performance of his original song “Home.”

I just cannot get over Phillip Phillips new single!!! Home is going to be a hit for sure… can I buy it like NOW?!!!!! #nextMumford #LOVE

— Kristyn Royster (@KristynAlysse) May 23, 2012

Just know you're not alone. Cause I'm gonna make this place your home. THE WAY PHILLIP PHILLIPS SAID "HOME" THE WAY HE POUTS HIS LIPS OMG

— captain swan. (@iamsuperjenni) May 23, 2012

Phillip Phillips' Home is right up my alley. Win or lose, he deserves a spot in my iPod.

— Zulaikha As'ari (@ZulaikhaAsari) May 23, 2012

I just bought the shit out of Phillip Phillips' "Home."

— Dave Holmes (@DaveHolmes) May 23, 2012

I know Phillip Phillips will be the fifth white guy with a guitar to win 'American Idol'. but I'd buy his album over Jessica's any day #Home

— Crystal Bell (@newyorkbell) May 23, 2012

https://twitter.com/Mskidrock/status/205326906793525248

Heck, Phillips even blew away songwriter Gregory Holden who was honored to hear his song being performed on America’s most popular reality show.

NOT so fast, friends! Despite Phillips’ God-like performance, Jessica Sanchez still has plenty of fans too!

Jessica Sanchez was pure Jessica Sanchez. Phillip Phillips' voice is being enhanced by his back up singers, guitar and marching band

— Justine Ferrer (@justineferrer) May 23, 2012

Dear Philippines, before we all sleep tonight, let's all say a prayer for Jessica Sanchez. Let's pray she wins tomorrow!

— Jiggy Cruz (@jiggycruz) May 23, 2012

Hey I actually liked Jessica's third song! Hindi lang sya pang finale. Jessica Sanchez all the way!

Posted on January 30, 2014 by idolseason

Why is Harry Connick Jr's face yellow? #BackOffTheMake-up #idol

— Jill Krueger (@JillK42) January 30, 2014

New “American Idol” judge Harry Connick Jr. has won raves for his music theory expertise and fresh injection of energy on the talent show’s panel. But as Twitchy noted a few weeks ago, many admirers are alarmed by his rather unnatural color.

Tonight, inquiring minds still wondered: Why so orange, Harry? Or yellow? Scary!

How much longer is Harry Connick going to be orange?

Why is Harry Connick Jr yellow all over his hands and mouth?! #layoffselftanner #barf #AmericanIdol

— Jaclyn M Condo (@Jaclyn_Condo) January 30, 2014

Ack. It’s getting in his beard.

How come Harry Connick Jr's beard is sooo orange?

— Jessica Wilmes (@wilmes_jessica) January 30, 2014
