"American Idol" is going to pay tribute to where the show began throughout its final season.
Ryan Seacrest told E! News that all of the former judges of the reality talent show will be back at one point during its final bow.
"We will have the former judges back," Seacrest said. "The plan is to have all of them back. They've all considered it and I think are enthusiastic about coming back and saluting the show."
That means you can expect to see Paula Abdul, Randy Jackson, Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Ellen DeGeneres, Steven Tyler, Kara DioGuardi and of course Simon Cowell.
They will join current judges Jennifer Lopez, Keith Urban and Harry Connick, Jr..
"American Idol" returns for its 15th season on Wednesday, Jan. 6.
