excerpt:"fter only one year behind the judges' table on "American Idol," Ellen DeGeneres is leaving the show.

"A couple months ago, I let FOX and the 'American Idol' producers know that this didn't feel like the right fit for me," Ellen said in a statement issued to Access Hollywood on Thursday. "I told them I wouldn't leave them in a bind and that I would hold off on doing anything until they were able to figure out where they wanted to take the panel next."

Interesting - one of the reasons I did try Idol last season (before giving up in frustration and vowing to never watch it again - or at least not for two years) was ellen's addition to the cast.

          Ken Tucker of E. Weekly suggests they just cancel A Idol and I'm inclined to agree

            I don't have cable, nor direct tv. and the way everyone is cracking down on copyrights infringements its hard to pick up a show done with Ellen DeGeneres on the panel on line. So my question, which season was she on?

            Thank you.

            She was on the season most recent, the one that ended about five months ago
