Kanye West Appears in Commercial for Final Season of "American Idol"

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Kanye West auditioned for “American Idol” in San Francisco. Now, “Idol” has included his appearance in a commercial for the show’s final season. He appears at the end for a few seconds, much to the surprise of judge Jennifer Lopez, who asks, “Is this Kanye West? What are you doing here?” The 30-second spot also includes highlights from the show’s history, including William Hung’s audition and former judge Simon Cowell being, well, judgmental. Watch it below, via Billboard.

West has a bit of history with “American Idol”—he performed “Heartless” on the show, and in 2011, he joined Katy Perry to perform “E.T.”.
