Nigel Lythgoe told TMZ that it would be very difficult to replace Ryan Seacrest if he leaves American Idol. However, he did add that the show is not beholden to one personality (citing Simon Cowell as an example of course).

My take: American Idol will never die! Long live American Idol!

Let’s hope that Lauren has lawyered up!
