I just found out about this and didn't see it anywhere here yet. It's pretty interesting.
For the first time in the network's history, Fox has announced that it will air an
episode from the recently concluded season of American Idol, in tribute to Michael Jackson, who died earlier today of an alleged heart attack.
Naturally, the network will air Michael Jackson week--the first week of performances from this year's Top 13, which had them give their spin to the King of Pop's diverse catalogue, from his years with the Jackson 5 to his successful solo career.
The news was announced during So You Think You Can Dance's results show earlier; previously scheduled screenings of House and Lie to Me will be preempted to accommodate the two-hour special.
