After Idol season 10 and 11 judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez quit American Idol, Fox considered shifting Randy Jackson to a mentor role in an attempt to bring an all-new judges line up to freshen the format.  However, when the talks with Enrique Iglesias broke down, the network decided to bring back Randy to the judges' seat.

Here is an excerpt of Fox's press release confirming the new judges for American Idol Season 12:
