"American Idol" will air one night a week when it returns to FOX next year. While walking the red carpet at the Z100 Jingle Ball in New York on Friday night, December 12, Ryan Seacrest revealed that there would be no results shows once the season gets into its top 10.

"There won't be a 'wait 'til tomorrow night,' " the singing competition's longtime host said as quoted by The Hollywood Reporter. "There won't be a 'Coming up, coming up, coming up.' We are going to put it all into one format in one night. So that will be exciting."

"[It will be] one night when we get to the final stage, the top ten, there will be one night of performances and results all in one night," he added.
