'American Idol': Ellen DeGeneres back as a guest? What do you think?
On Tuesday's (Feb. 15) episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson stops by to talk about old times ("Dude, come back! I do miss you!") and then he jokes that he wasn't sure what was going on the first time he sat down to tape auditions."When we started that first audition city in Jersey, it was so bizarre because I'd look across the panel and you weren't there, Kara wasn't there, SImon wasn't there. I was like, 'What show are we on?'" laughs Jackson.
He then says that he's happy with new judges Steven Tyler and Jenifer Lopez.
"I was [Steven's] champion from the beginning because I thought you needed something unpredictable. He's a rock legend ... we're legends from the modeling word," laughs Jackson, indicating himself and DeGeneres. "But he's a legend from the music world."
And J.Lo is "a true triple threat. She's an actress, dancer, singer, performer. She's got it down."
But he thinks his "E," has he calls Ellen, should stop by to "do some funny guest thing."
Ellen hesitantly says, "Yeah, I'll come back. I'll do a guest thing."
We aren't sure she meant it, but we would welcome her back for a guest spot. What do you think, "Idol" fans?

Ellen hated it, she won't go back.
Why Not?!!!! Have Her Co-Host With Ryan!!!!!
Ellen didn't hate it, she just felt uncomfortable criticizing the singers.
No!
I think it's in the best interest of the show and Ellen that she doesn't come back.
We hated her on it and dont want her back. haha lol purr thin. now offf to Yoda.
She got fired why would they bring her failed assss back.
She's always been a big fan of the show, and I think she stepped down because she realized it was giving herself and the show too much bad press. She's a terrific comedian, and a very nice, giving, warm hearted person,who has probably done more charitable things for people than all the gay bashers combined. If they allow any guest judges, she would be funny and more worth watching than guest judges they have allowed in the past. Oh, she also didn't do bad dancing with Twitch on SYTYCD. She does a lot of good things in her life, and I wish all of you negative haters would leave her alone. We need more people like her in the world, not more prejudiced narrow minded morons.
They fired Ellen why would they bring her back.
I never thought it was a good idea to bring Ellen on the judging panel seeing that she had 0 experience in the music industry.
The producers made drastic changes this year because of the failure that was season 9 so why bring her back on as a guest judge.
I think she perfect right where she is hosting her talk show. The show has been successful for several years now and If I were Ellen, I wouldn't want to go back to that circus.
