Viewers of "American Idol" pretty much all agree that contestant Sanjaya Malakar may be the worst finalist ever. But thanks to Howard Stern fans, pre-teen girls, and the Web site Votefortheworst.com, the wildly coiffed warbler now has a shot at winning it all. Today, we go behind this unlikely "Idol" success story. Also: Jazz guitarist John Abercrombie has been playing for over 30 years as a solo artist and with drummers like Billy Cobham and Jack DeJohnette. He joins us to talk about his new album, "The Third Quartet." Finally, moody rock band Sophe Lux performs live in the studio.

While America holds its breath to try and see if the woefully untalented singer Sanjaya Malakar is eliminated from American Idol tonight, Robert Thompson, the founding director of the Center for the Study of Popular Television at Syracuse University, looks at what this year's controversy is all about.
