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.

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.
