'I think there was a time when you weren't truly accepted if you won a television competition in the music world, but that has changed,' he said.
The media figure then stated that he felt as if American Idol would run for many years to come.
'I think this format and this series has the opportunity to live with generations and have other generations grow up watching it to try to be the next winner,' he said.
