Simon Cowell Leaving American Idol?

'American Idol' judge Simon Cowell has hinted that his career as the meanest judge in TV history might be coming to an end soon.

He says, "The public eventually are gonna get sick to death of me. Nine years is probably enough to inflict on anyone. Can the show exist without me? Absolutely. It would probably get better."

Cowell is half the fun of the show, I really don't think AI would have been such a success without him. What do you guys think? Love him or hate him?
