American Idol is gearing up for a three-night farewell this week on FOX.
The telecasts begin with a look back at the first 14 years of Idol. That’s scheduled to air Tuesday night at 8 p.m.
On Wednesday at 8 p.m., we’ll learn which two singers will compete for the Season 15 crown. Then they’ll perform during a one-hour show.
On Thursday, Idol will crown its final champion during a two hour finale that will feature guest performances by more than three dozen contestants from past seasons, including nearly every winner from the first 14 seasons.
Meanwhile, here’s a look back at winning moments from the show’s first 14 seasons, courtesy of FOX.
