The dawg is officially out, America! Randy Jackson is leaving American Idol at the end of its twelfth season. The last standing original judge is done with the show. In a statement to E!, Jackson had this to say regarding his departure:

Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season. I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It's been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures.

According to sources, the entire panel is in for an overhaul. Who will be the next judge to "quit"? You can check out Jackson discussing Idol in an interview on The View below:
