No, Cat Deely, Don’t Leave Us!!!
Um…I’m horrified. But I have to share this. One of our commenters mentioned there was a rumor:

I’m so excited for Season 7’s Top 10!!! But listen to this…Hollywoodlife.com just dished some great gossip about Cat Deeley leaving SYTYCD!
She’s cagey in the article, only saying this, really:
” The only thing I know is that there were rumors circulating but no — I don’t know anything about it,” the 33-year-old host-extraordinaire admitted to HollywoodLife.com at the SYTYCD viewing party in Hollywood May 27. “Whether [Simon’s] people are talking to my people…I’m not privy to it and that’s because I’m the chatty girl. They’re like, ‘Don’t tell her anything or else it’ll get right out there!’”
But would she make an appearance if Simon, 50, came knocking on her door?
“I don’t know,” she said coyly. “That would be something I’d have to consider. I love [So You Think You Can Dance].”
Damn you, Cowell! You’re not taking our Deely! Unless she can do both…
well if its on Fox she can do both. after all she did host the UK version. I dont think she will leave or at least i hope not. Oh one more thing Cats boyfriend will be in Eclipse. I cant remember his name at the moment but he plays Roselie’s husband before she became a vampire.
Seems like a rumor to me. Although, I’m not buying that she doesn’t know anything. I predict both. She’d do well on X factor I think, but SYTYCD is her baby. She can’t leave.
@Amanda: Rosalie’s fiance, Royce King II. Here’s a link to Cat’s husband, Jack Huston’s, IMDb page. I feel stupid, but I didn’t realize Cat’s married. 🙂
@John: Good point about her probably knowing more than she lets on. Sneak and creative way of saying, “I can’t tell you anything.” Lol.
Darnit, Simon…go find your own host! She’s ours!LOL. I don’t doubt that Cat could easily handle both, a la Seacrest & Mario Lopez with their multiple gigs each. I actually don’t know much about The X Factor other than the fact that it’s why Simon left Idol…will it be concurrent with SYTYCD?
Some people don’t know this, but Cat is also actually the “back up” host for Idol if Seacrest ever can’t host for any reason – can’t tell you how many times I prayed that he would catch the swine flu during Idol just so I could catch a glimpse of the glorious Cat in the SYTYCD off-season 😉
Courtney – Back up? Only backup? Ugh, they should just let Seacrest go and hire Cat for the off season, seriously.
I would totally watch Idol if that happened, and I don’t watch Idol to begin with.
@Courtney: Lol to the swine flue. 🙂
@Marianya & Emilie – Yep, it almost seems criminal that Seacrest is the headliner and Cat is the understudy in this case, lol. I read in an interview with Simon Fuller (one of the Idol producers) that the whole “Cat as backup” clause is a residual thing from when Nigel was producing both shows – not sure if it goes both ways (as in Seacrest hosting SYTYCD if Cat ever got sick, god forbid 🙁 ), but from what I understand it’s only ever been considered once, when Seacrest’s flight from NY was delayed a few seasons back due to a storm and they weren’t sure if he would make it to LA in time to tape Idol one night. I guess Cat did the dress rehearsal and was already in hair & makeup when Seacrest blew in at the 11th hour…shame on the airline that moved heaven & earth to get him there, those fools 😉
Sorry to get a bit off-topic, but I’ve really become anti-Seacrest in the past few years – he seems to have gotten a bit arrogant and I feel like he antagonizes the Idol contestants from time to time, asking uncomfortable questions or making snide remarks. That’s one thing I love about Cat – she seems to genuinely care about the dancers each year, and always is there to console them or offer positive words when one of them doesn’t always shine 🙂 She’s just pure grace. Ahhhh. Why the hell hasn’t this woman won the Emmy for Best Reality Show Host yet???
@Courtney: If Facebook can get Betty White on SNL, I think we can band together and DEMAND an Emmy for Cat. She deserves it, you are right about that.
What this is horrible, she’s kinda irreplacable in my opinion. Nigel do something nasty to simon before he can even think of taking her away.
[…] -Cat rocks. “Thank you for coming to my tea party.” Cat, I’ll go to your tea party anytime. Just don’t ever leave SYTYCD, please. […]
[…] and she really stuck up for the dancers (i.e. the Jose/Adechike Bollywood issue). The rumor that she may leave the show is a major jeer, but I refuse to believe it because Cat is a major part of why this show works, in […]
