Is American Idol new tonight on ABC, April 26? Current schedule
Alas, we also have some pretty unfortunate news: For the second straight night, the singing competition is off the air. It made sense for there to be a hiatus last night due to the Oscars, but now? Let’s just say that it has a little bit to do with Sesame Street. The network is airing a special commemorating the children’s TV giant after so many years, and that bumps Idol off the air until we get around to Sunday night.

So what is Sunday’s show going to look like? For starters, it’s Disney Night! This entire show is going to be a celebration of all things pertaining to the company, and it will feature results, performances, and plenty of other surprises. The synopsis below offers up a much larger sense of what you can expect to see:
“416 (Disney Night)” – “American Idol” gets closer to crowning its winner on the all-new, magical Disney Night episode airing live coast to coast on SUNDAY, MAY 2 (5:00-7:00 p.m. PDT/6:00-8:00 p.m. MDT/8:00-10:00 p.m. EDT), on ABC.
