Comedienne Ellen DeGeneres is "very, very sad" to see Simon Cowell leave American Idol, because he's such a big part of the show.The music mogul announced on Monday he will be leaving the hit talent series at the end of the ninth season, which began on Tuesday night.
DeGeneres has replaced Paula Abdul as a judge on the new series, after the singer quit last year - and she's upset she'll only get to sit on the panel with Cowell for one season.
She says, "He announced he's leaving on my first day! I'm trying not to take it personally. But seriously, I am going to be very, very sad to see him go, because I think he's made the show what it is. He's a huge part of that show but he wanted a change."
Cowell quit American Idol to concentrate on launching a U.S. version of his smash hit British show The X Factor.
