Ryan Seacrestcould get behind a full-blownAmerican Idolreunion!
Earlier this week, originalIdoljudgeSimon Cowellsaid his “No. 1 wish” would be to work withPaula AbdulandRandy Jacksonagain — and the show’s longtime host would love to work with the OGIdolcrew again too.
“After seeing us in one place again and realizing the craziness that was and the chemistry that still is still there? I think it would be pretty fun,” he told PEOPLE backstage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas on Friday. “I would be interested if we all were into it to do it together. I think it’d be fun.”
Cowell floated the idea of reuniting with his fellowIdoljudge during their reunion on Clarkson’s show.
“If I had one wish it’d be to make another show with us again. That would be my No. 1 wish,” Cowell said. “What worked about that series was is that Randy, like myself, is an A&R guy, but also a record producer. Paula actually was a brilliant spotter of talent. I was an A&R (artists and repertoire) guy, which is one of the reasons why I think we had this additional chemistry.”

“Our legacy, genuinely, are the artists who we discovered over the seven-year period. That’s what I’m most proud of. The show’s ratings were great, that’s one thing, but it’s who has come through the process and has made it all worthwhile,” he added. “And that’s why genuinely, if I could chose who to work with all over again, I would work with these guys again.”
