Episode description
In the third episode of Idol Memories, American Idol Executive Producer, Nigel Lythgoe, takes us behind the curtain of the season one semi-finals, including a failed attempt to change the show’s audience-driven format for shock value. Nigel also chats with Idol Stage Manager, Debbie Williams, about producing the first live shows and why Nigel wasn’t allowed to hold onto anything important. Then Randy Jackson joins Nigel to reflect about the first season, his hesitation to become a judge on the show, and the singers who stood out to him.
