Pop diva Mariah Carey is keen to work as a judge on 'American Idol', her husband Nick Cannon has said. Cannon, who presents the talent show 'America's Got Talent', admits the 'Hero' singer regularly talks about working on the hit show, The Hollywood Reporter said. "You know what? She talks about it. She says, 'I would love to do that'. She is one of the greatest singers of our time and she would be great. I don't know if she has enough time, though, but if they could work with her schedule, I know she would love to do 'Idol'," Cannon said.

The 29-year-old presenter also admits the show has experienced a turmoil following the departure of both Simon Cowell and Ellen DeGeneres, but believes it will continue to be a success. "Simon Cowell was the anchor of the show. And when he stepped out, it's like, now what? But as long as Ryan Seacrest and Randy Jackson stick around, I'm watching," said Cannon.
