For some viewers of the show, he almost became a part and parcel of it. He played a pivotal part in transforming a singing contest to an iconic pop-culture force that has launched the careers of several singers. He will no longer be a part of the show after the season finale of American Idol on Wednesday. His biting sarcasm became an integral part of the show and it often left the viewers in splits. He was kind of outspoken but his judgments were mostly on the right side.

For instance he admitted that he misunderstood Crystal Bowersox. The candidates also liked him despite his sharp tongue. Host Ryan Seacrest also said that he will miss Simon Cowell in the coming days.
