According to a post in PerezHilton.com, Howard Stern is willing to replace Simon Cowell on American Idol only if the production offers him a whooping $100 in payment. In an interview, Stern says: “They’d have to pay me a ton of dough because I already make a ton of dough. Yeah I would do that show for $100 million.”

The controversial radio talkshow host Stern, who is rumoured to be leaving Xirius XM soon, described being a judge on Idol would be “the best job on the planet.” He also refers to the show as  “f***ing karaoke contest”
