The hunt for a new horde (or hosts) of The X Factor has been hotter than a smoke-stack of griddlecakes in a low fryer, though it might be impending a end. Glee‘s Kevin McHale is being deliberate for a talent competition’s open hosting spot, TV Guide Magazine reports.

In anticipating a deputy for Season 1 horde Steve Jones, executive producer Simon Cowell has reportedly pronounced he is looking for a male/female group to take on a responsibilities. “What we’ve schooled from a uncover is you’ve got so many information we have to send as one person,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in a press call. “And we consider that it’s roughly unfit to have one chairman doing a hosting job. You’ve got to give out so many information now, a write lines, a formation of a sponsors. we mean, they’re like newscasters now, these hosts. It’s a much, many bigger role.”

So, who are McHale’s intensity partners? Ladies being deliberate embody Khloe Kardashian Odom, Erin Andrews, and Kelly Osbourne. Considering shoal aesthetics alone, Osbourne is a best fit of a 3 — she’s a usually one who wouldn’t building over a 5′ 6″ McHale. But clearly looks aren’t all (right?), and we consider Kardashian Odom has a sepulchral celebrity indispensable to opposite McHale’s deadpan. McHale is desirable as geeky Artie on Glee, though maybe he’s a diminutive bit too one-dimensionally nice to lift a uncover on his shoulders. McHale’s many new hosting opening (I’m looking during you, Teen Choice Awards) positively fell flat. Kardashian Odom might have only a right volume of sass required to piquancy adult McHale’s quieter code of charisma.

If McHale does land a gig, he’ll be reunited with his Teen Choice Awards co-host, Demi Lovato. This raises an engaging question: Are a youngs holding over TV’s talent competitions? Let’s inspect a evidence. Nineteen-year-old Lovato has already begun her judging duties on The X Factor, Joe Jonas is set to decider The CW’s The Next, and lil’ bro Nick Jonas is being considered for a open American Idol judging spot. All of these kids, including McHale, are underneath 25.

The networks’ enterprise to pull in a younger viewership by a additions of these teen idols is totally transparent. And while no one can censure them for wanting to enhance their demographics, it doesn’t make these casting choices any reduction eyebrow-raising. The fact of a matter is, no one wants to take recommendation from someone younger than them. Even some-more to a point, receiving feedback from a teenaged star who was handed his or her career on a china platter (thanks, Disney) contingency be a sour tablet for any struggling artist to swallow. Simon Cowell has already left on a record job Lovato a “brat” (albeit playfully), and when The X Factor starts to atmosphere on Sep 12, it will be engaging to see if contestants uncover any open disregard for a immature star.

Or, hey, maybe we’re wrong. Maybe a healthy sip of a immature and frozen will be only a electric startle these shows need to get behind on their feet. And if Fox can use a success of a youth-powered ratings monster Glee to boost a series of eyes on a struggling X Factor, all energy to them. At a really least, McHale — and Kardasian Odom, Andrews, Osbourne, or whomever a lady horde might be — will demeanour good in HD.
