Charlie Sheen tells TMZ, he's 100% on board to judge the next season of "American Idol" -- but there are several conditions that must be met before he signs the dotted line.

As TMZ first reported, "Idol" Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe told us he would LOVE to have Charlie Sheen and Jerry Lewis as judges for season 12. Nigel would not say if he was joking ... but he repeated his wish list several times during the conversation.

CONDITION #1. Charlie says FX -- the network that airs his show "Anger Management" -- must sign off on an "Idol" deal ... but Jennifer Lopez proved, being on A.I. can be good for business.

CONDITION #2. Charlie says the money has to be right: "If the numbers move the needle AND 'Idol' matches 20% of my weekly salary for Autism Speaks, JDRF, and the Boys and Girls Club ... then the hell with it. As we say, pour the smoke."

That's Charlie-speak for "Why the hell not?"

As for Jerry Lewis, he's in Nashville directing a stage play of "The Nutty Professor" and was not available for comment.

Charlie Sheen on "American Idol"? Actor Amused By Judge Speculation (VIDEO)
07/17/2012


There have been plenty of names thrown around since Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez announced they would not be returning to "American Idol". The speculation has been so strange that Jerry Lewis and Charlie Sheen have been mentioned in the conversation.

Sheen talked about the rumors on "The Tonight Show", where he told Jay Leno he first heard about it on the news.



In other words, Sheen was never officially approached by the show. That didn't stop him from jokingly coming up with his terms for accepting the position, and telling Leno that he thought he could serve the show and its contestants well.

"I think I could be helpful," he said. "Give these kids some guidance without leading them to a suicide, you know?"

Considering some of Steven Tyler's "Idol" antics, maybe Sheen wouldn't be such an outlandish choice. He'd certainly draw viewer's attention.
