Ellen DeGeneres interviews the 'American Idol' judges

Ellen DeGeneres, a former "American Idol" judge herself, talks today with the newest panel of  judges, and .?.?. it's interesting. Foremost, the obvious question to Jennifer Lopez — easy to come back?  Actually, no, "it was a difficult decision .?.?."

And funny little back and forth with Harry Connick Jr.: "How long have you been a liar .?.?.?"

Also, I do believe this a first look at the new group, or at least the first group interview. They are in Salt Lake City, by the way.

But enough chitchat — take a look (and as always, Newsday app viewers go to newsday.com/tvzone to watch .?.?.)
