“American Idol” made TV history amid the coronavirus pandemic by airing its first-ever remote results show. As people across the country continue to stay inside their homes in an effort to curtail the spread of COVID-19, the hit reality singing competition made the choice to forge ahead with the remainder of its season by having the contestants appear from their homes.
On Sunday, it aired the first of these remote episodes by finally revealing which of the season's two country girls would move on to the top 20.
Ryan Seacrest hosted from his home in Los Angeles as he read the results of who viewers voted to send to the top 20, Grace Leer or Lauren Mascitti.
