Howard Stern is reportedly set to replace Simon Cowell as a judge on American Idol.
According to New York Post, Idol producers are keen for Stern to take over from the tough-talking music mogul when he leaves at the end of the talent show's current season.
''It's one of the few shows that could compete with Stern's $100 million-a-year Sirius contract, and Idol bosses think he'd be even nastier than Simon,'' a source said.
''They know he would be great TV and would clash with the other judges such as Ellen DeGeneres and the contestants. Idol will do what it takes to sign him.''
Stern's exclusive Sirius XM Radio deal expires next January and he recently said -- on his show -- that he was open to other offers.
