Nigel Lythgoe created the show and this is the first year he won’t be involved. And that’s really heartbreaking. Many fans think it’s only fair that the show asks Nigel to fill in Matthew Morrison’s spot.

Other judges have come and gone over the years, but Nigel has been a staple of So You Think You Can Dance since the beginning. Fans feel that the show is going to feel really incomplete without him.

Why did Matthew Morrison exit the show in the first place?

Plenty of So You Think You Can Dance fans felt really surprised when the show announced Matthew Morrison was leaving. The live episodes haven’t even aired yet — what could have gone wrong?

Apparently, Morrison made some unfortunate decisions during his short-lived gig as a judge and the show fired him. News outlets report that he sent “flirty” messages to a contestant, which made her uncomfortable. After SYTYCD did its own investigation, they opted to fire Morrison.

JoJo Siwa and tWitch are perfectly capable of carrying the show on their own, but the show definitely needs a third judge. And fans have spoken — they want Nigel to return.

Who would you like to replace Matthew Morrison on SYTYCD Season 17? Do you also want Nigel Lythgoe back behind the judges’ table? Be sure to leave your opinions in the comments.
