"American Idol" Will Get Rid of Results Show

"American Idol" is getting trimmed to one night a week.
Ryan Seacrest confirmed Friday that the show will air performances and results in a single night once the season gets into its Top 10, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"There won't be a 'wait 'til tomorrow night,'" Seacrest said at the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York, THR reports. "There won't be a 'Coming up, coming up, coming up.' We are going to put it all into one format in one night. So that will be exciting."
Last season, "Idol" slashed its results show down to 30 minutes to air on Thursday nights, after the performances were shown on Wednesdays. The new format mimics ABC's "Dancing with the Stars", which switched to a single-show format earlier this year.
"American Idol" kicks off Season 14 on Wednesday, Jan. 7 at 8/7c on Fox.
