It was a short moment that Ellen DeGeneres serves as a judge in American Idol. She quits according to Fox.

DeGeneres says in the statement, “A couple months ago, I let FOX and the American Idol producers know that this didn’t feel like the right fit for me.”‘

“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.”

“It was a difficult decision to make, but my work schedule became more than I bargained for,” the star continues.

“I also realized this season that while I love discovering, supporting and nurturing young talent, it was hard for me to judge people and sometimes hurt their feelings. I loved the experience working on Idol and I am very grateful for the year I had. I am a huge fan of the show and will continue to be.”
