Doug Kiker’s bright new smile and music videos aren’t the only good news these days for American Idol fans. The first half of the season was pre-taped and not affected by coronavirus shutdowns, but how the show would move forward without being able to film in front of a live audience was a looming question throughout late March and early April 2020.
During the show’s virtual return on April 12, 2020, Judge Katy Perry was optimistic about the competition’s future and predicted fans will be pleased with the rest of the season, even if filming is a little more difficult after sending contestants home, per Billboard. Perry answered fans’ questions about American Idol from her parked car via Facebook Live: “Well, I think we’re gonna all have to be really creative — I know we’re gonna be very creative and you’ll just have to be tuning into that creativity that we are probably going to create from our individual homes.”
No matter what happens with American Idol this season, the show has already found its breakout star in Doug Kiker — and his charming new smile.
