American Idol Wiki

Ryan Long (born April 12, 2001) is an Judge, Director, Producer, Actor, Nintendo Producer, and Dancer who is best known in both the UK and the United States as a talent judge on TV shows such as America's Got Talent, American Idol, Britain's Got Talent, and The X-Factor.

Ryan decided to leave the Britain shows after Series 12 of Britain's Got Talent, and start fresh to hopefully become a new judge member of American Idol. Ryan has been judging America's Got Talent for 6 seasons and is hoping to reach up to 8 seasons.

Ryan is wanting to join American Idol Season 17 because he just left 2 shows from Britain and only has America's Got Talent in progress planned till 2020, but instead 2018.

But after America's Got Talent Season 13 ended, Ryan confirmed that he's done judging competition shows.

Ryan is currently opening his own talk show "Tonight with Ryan Long". The show will officially air on NBC (US) & CTV (Canada) on January 5, 2020 for its first year.
