MYFOXNY.COM - Good Day NY Reporter Julie Chang sat down with judge Randy Jackson to talk about the past and future of the show.

Jackson spilled the beans on which guest judge has been his 'top dog.'

"I was really impressed with Joe Jonas," Jackson said about the member of The Jonas Brothers.

As for some of his favorite contestants Jackson said they include Carrie Underwood, Fantasia Barrino, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Lambert.

Jackson has three children who watch the show. Would he consider letting them audition? They'd need to follow the same audition procedure, says Jackson who earned his 'street cred' playing the bass guitar with hundreds of music legends including Bruce Springsteen, Aretha Franklin and Journey.
