"I considered it, but then I thought, 'I don't think the after would be as good as the before.' I'd let her stay for a few hours, but then it would have to be goodnight."

The X Factor and America’s Got Talent executive producer is developing a reality competition series searching for the world’s best DJ.
Cowell’s SYCO Entertainment is partnering with Jada Pinkett-Smith and Will Smith‘s Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures Television to launch the format, which is expected to be shopped internationally and domestically.
“DJ’s are the new rock stars, it feels like the right time to make this show,” Cowell said in a statement announcing the news.
The as yet untitled DJ show joins The X Factor, America’s Got Talent, American Inventor, Celebrity Duets Pop Idol — and American Idol — and a slew of other reality competition series that Cowell has had a hand in.
Cowell reacted to the DJ news Wednesday on Twitter, clarifying his role in the potential series.
“Excited to announce new DJ show. I will NOT be judging this show. Excited to be working with @jadapsmith. Stay tuned!” he tweeted.
