DioGuardi: 'I'm only here for one season'

Kara DioGuardi has confessed that she is not sure if she'll be back as a judge on the next season of American Idol.

The judge told TV Guide that she is only on the show "for one season".

"That's what we've discussed. So we'll see what happens. Hopefully they'll keep me on," she said.

When asked if DioGuardi would be returning next season, Simon Cowell told the magazine that he "would imagine so".

"The only say I have is about Ryan, Randy and Paula. I've always made it clear that I wouldn't like to do the show without them," he said. "So that's all I'm really concerned about."

DioGuardi added that she was "grateful to America" for letting her "find her groove on the show".

"Hopefully, I haven't disappointed them. It's been a scary experience at times," she said.
