Simon Cowell reveals why he turned down an opportunity to have his own talk show
Fox News
Simon Cowell said he probably wouldn't do a talk show, mostly because he doesn't think he can talk to people the whole day and he's not great at talking.
"I got to the point where they built the set, and I started to get anxious and then really stressed out. And I just walked out the meeting," Cowell told E! News. "I just said I literally couldn't do this. I just couldn't talk to people all day long. I'm not very good at talking." Lori Bashian is an entertainment production assistant for Fox News Digital.
Had Cowell gone through with his show, he wouldn't have been the first "American Idol" alum to go that route. The first season winner, Kelly Clarkson, is hosting her fourth season of "The Kelly Clarkson Show" on NBC, and Jennifer Hudson, who came in seventh on season 3 of the show, is hosting "The Jennifer Hudson Show."
