It’s an American Idol reunion

Former judges Randy Jackson and Paula Abdul made an appearance on the American Idol Season 20 anniversary episode. Even familiar old faces like David Cook, Laine Hardy, and Jordin Sparks made a special appearance. The alumni performed during the show’s 20th anniversary.

Randy shocked fans with his appearance. The music mogul is the bandleader on the FOX game show, Name that Tune, alongside Jane Krakowski. Those who don’t watch the new program were in for a shock. Randy expressed his gratitude for being back on Idol.

He left the singing competition after Season 12. He looked happy and excited to be back on the set. Randy said he couldn’t believe how much time has flown by. Simon Cowell was absent from that episode.

However, some fans couldn’t help but comment on Randy Jackson’s appearance. Some claim that he looked “emaciated.” Fans are worried about his health after how much weight he had lost. They took to Twitter to share their concerns.

• “Is Randy Jackson ok? He’s looking a bit emaciated.”
• “Randy Jackson is so thin. I’m actually worried about him.”
• “Is Randy Jackson ok? He just doesn’t look himself.”

This isn’t the first time that Randy had fans concerned about him. As TV Shows Ace previously reported, they were worried about him in December 2021. He shared a photo of himself with legendary actor Anthony Hopkins. The two men met each other at a restaurant.

Despite the celebrity sighting, fans couldn’t help but remark how different Randy Jackson looked from his AI days. They wondered if he’s doing well these days. Some fans think he’s lost too much weight that he looks sickly.

Randy Jackson sparks health concerns

Randy Jackson was on the heavier side when he was a judge on American Idol. In 2003, he underwent gastric bypass surgery. At the time, he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In his book, Body With Soul, Randy knew that he had to change his lifestyle around by losing weight.

Since having the surgery, he has maintained his over 100-pound weight loss. During his 2021 appearance on the Today Show, Randy told hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush-Hager that he adopted healthier habits. Instead of going on a strict diet, he eats in moderation.

If he craves chocolate, he’ll eat frozen yogurt instead. Randy Jackson either practices yoga, takes walks or runs on the treadmill.
