Clay Aiken visits pal Tyra Banks on 'ANTM'
If you are a fan of both "American Idol" and "America's Next Top Model," last night was a very, very happy night for you. Season 2 "American Idol" runner-up Clay Aiken popped into "ANTM," because supposedly, he and host Tyra Banks are like thiiis.
Show Tracker extraordinaire Denise Martin watched the two-hour spectacular and said, "Even guest judge Clay Aiken couldn’t shake things up. (Could we have used more Clay, maybe? Yes. In a funnier scene? Yes."
Sad. So many of the duller parts of life could be spiced up if we just added a little "more Clay."
On the show, Clay shared his expertise, not on singing, but on acting. After all, the dude is more than qualified; he did play Sir Robin in "Monty Python's Spamalot" on Broadway. And he has done TV appearances on "Ed," "All My Children," "Days of Our Lives" and "Scrubs" to boot.
Clay told People magazine that the Aiken-"ANTM" union has been a long time coming: "Every year [the models] do an acting challenge, and since I had been in 'Spamalot' and was doing the Broadway thing, Tyra called and wanted me to be a part of it."
The two are pals off-screen too. "For some reason [Tyra and I] just clicked when we first met, and we try to stay in touch and see each other whenever we're in town," Clay told People.
