President’s State of the Union Address May Get ‘Idol’ Lead-In THR

The White House picked 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 27, for President Obama's State of the Union address, which would likely mean he’ll get a lead-in on Fox from “American Idol,” reports The Hollywood Reporter.

“Idol” is scheduled to air at that hour, but the network is likely to move it to 8 p.m., bumping the new “Human Target.”

Other networks didn’t have final plans because of the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, but NBC is expected to preempt "Law & Order: SVU" and "The Jay Leno Show."
