'X Factor' USA bosses have said that the show is having two presenters because it wants to distinguish itself from 'American Idol'.
According to the Hollywood reporter, FremantleMedia North America CEO Cecile Frot-Coutaz said of the upcoming show: "Our job is to make sure the two shows are as distinct as possible."
"For example - we're making sure there are two entirely different teams with no overlap in terms of individuals who are working on both shows."
"From a format and tonal standpoint, they're very different. In terms of casting the judges, again, we're making sure the looks are different. And I can reveal that we'll have two hosts on 'The X Factor'."
