Big changes could be on the way for America’s No. 1 television talent competition — starting with the judges’ table.

In an interview with TV Guide on Friday, American Idol newcomer Kara DioGuardi confirmed that her time as a judge on the smash FOX series is almost up.

“I’m only here for one season,” the award-winning songwriter says.

While the pull-no-punches pundit admits that she’s enjoyed her tenure on Idol so far, she’s not sure if she’ll be back next season.

“That’s what we’ve discussed. So we’ll see what happens. Hopefully they’ll keep me on.”

“I feel grateful to America that they let me grow and they let me find my groove on the show and that they were patient,” she adds. “And hopefully I haven’t disappointed them. It’s been a scary experience at times.”
