 "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest, left, and judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick Jr. and Keith Urban will soon be out of a job. Fox has announced that season 15 will be the show's last. Let's catch up with some of the stars.

'American Idol' chooses its final two
Fox has planned a blowout finale tonight that will include performances from judges Harry Connick Jr., Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez as well as appearances by a bevy of alumni including Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Chris Daughtry and Fantasia.
Based on the popular British show "Pop Idol," the series entranced America when it debuted in the summer of 2002. Inaugural winner Kelly Clarkson has become one of the show's most successful contestants, and "Idol" prompted a flood of other reality singing competitions. But even with all the others, it managed to maintain a place in the hearts of many reality show lovers.
Why I'm going to miss 'American Idol'
Originally hosted by Brian Dunkleman and Seacrest, "Idol" went on to become a part of the pop culture zeitgeist. It was a celeb-making machine for many of those connected to it, including Seacrest, who was made the solo host after the first season.
