Stern said this morning if he judged "Idol," he would've told Carrie Underwood to lose weight and the competition would lift elements from "The Biggest Loser." "There's not a better job on the planet than judging a f—–g karaoke contest," the shock jock told his listeners this morning. "It might be possible, we'll see." He added: "A $100 million to judge a karaoke contest? Yeah, I think I would do that show for $100 million. It would be the best thing that happened to me. What a cush job: $100 million for four months. Who wouldn't take that?"
