During an appearance on The Tonight Show on Wednesday night (March 5), American Idol judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood took part in a joint interview and competed against each other during a “Name That Song Challenge” with host Jimmy Fallon. When asked what it’s like to have the original Idol winner on the show, Richie said his new partner is a “jukebox… she knows every song that the contestants are singing,” joking that Underwood can’t help but join in. “I go Carrie, ‘they’re competing. It’s not you. You already won,’” Richie joked. While evaluating the talent of the contestants, Underwood admits that she was personally pulling for everyone who auditioned and wanted them to succeed. “I care a lot and it’s people’s hopes and dreams,” Underwood said. “I’m trying to evaluate, ‘is there more in there.” (Billboard)
