Howard Stern is reacting negatively to Simon Cowell and Kara DioGuardi's comments that dismissed the shock jock's qualifications to replace the opinionated British judge.
Stern, who has been lobbying hard via his radio show and press leaks, now doesn't see "Idol" in his future.
At the NYC premiere of "Green Zone" on Thursday night, Stern responded to Kara DioGuardi's comments that he doesn't have the musical background to be a judge. Stern fired back at Kara, "I wouldn't work with you. You're horrible!"
Stern says he's got the goods to be a judge and that "Whoever they get is going to be strong and opinionated... I'm not afraid to give people opinions."
In January, Simon Cowell announced he will leave “Idol” at the end of this season to launch “The X Factor” in the states.
For more of Howard Stern’s interview tune in to “Extra” tonight.
