Portia de Rossi has admitted that she is glad she’s not an “American Idol” judge. According to People, the wife of Ellen DeGeneres also joked that she had a hand in getting the comedian the job.
“I was like, “Honey, that’s it. Go get another job”. I am that demanding,” Portia said.
“I am actually going to every taping of Idol because it is really fun to be there & it’s fun to support her. I’m just glad that I’m not a judge. It is hard, especially when the contestants don’t do that well because I know that she will be struggling to think of something positive to say to them.”
