It looks like the hot tamale train is leaving "So You Think You Can Dance" for good. After a month of rumors and speculation, Mary Murphy confirmed yesterday that her contract with the show has not been renewed. She has spent the last 11 years seated beside Nigel Lythgoe on the shows' judging panel, dissecting choreography and explaining ballroom moves to viewers at home. -
Rumor Has It Mary Murphy May Leave 'So You Think You Can Dance': Paula Abdul Might Be In
Longtime fans of "So You Think You Can Dance" were recently thrilled to learn that the show has been picked up for a 12th season on Fox, but now comes the downside. Mary Murphy, who has been a regular face at the judges panel since Season 2, is reportedly getting ready to leave the show. Murphy and her "Hot Tamale Train" antics have played off fellow judge/co-producer Nigel Lythgoe perfectly, but sources say the show is looking for someone new to fill her seat and a familiar name is being circulated. According to a report by Deadline, Paula Abdul is being eyed by Dick Clark Productions to take the prized seat. Abdul is no stranger to the show, as she has sat in the guest judge's seat on several occasions. She also successfully worked with Lythgoe on "American Idol" for several seasons, so it is a working relationship that is already developed, which might ultimately benefit the show if Murphy really is ready to move on.
