Today (February 3), Jelly Roll announced that he will be joining reality competition show, American Idol as its first-ever artist-in-residence. In a promotional clip for the program’s upcoming season (viewable above), Jelly Roll and Ryan Seacrest gleefully shared the news.

Jelly Roll will be the "artist-in-residence" for American Idol's 23rd season, multiplying how Nashville's country music industry impacts the program.

Jelly Roll returned to the Idol set for the Season 22 finale. He performed with Oliver Steele, who had been eliminated earlier in the season, singing his hit "Need a Favor." He was also joined on stage by Lainey Wilson as the two delivered their No. 1 duet "Save Me."
