You read my mind! I would like to see them host a show together - but not just a talk show. It has to be a variety show including singing guests. Would love it! So happy to see these two defied the odds. You see so many sad stories about contestants in the national competitions and how tragedy happens after their season is over. These two still look great!
I love the fact they're friends and so funny together! It proves you don't have to be mean-spirited in order to participate in these talent competitions.
Ikr!!!? I could listen to them talk for hours. Different in a lot of ways but complement each other well! I love Clay's laugh & Ruben's laid back confidence & sense of humor. Made it feel like we're in the room with them.
Reuben has aged like a fine wine. Clay is still adorable too. I love that they are like brothers truly...we need more friendships like this in the world.
Clay I will never forget your version of bridge over troubled water. brilliant and especially as you were an amateur at the time. You both are so talented.
@@tysontyson1244 I agree. Whenever I see that someone likes an interview or a person, they “NEED” a show or “NEED” a Netflix show. Like, no lol not everyone does.
Gotta admit...Those first Ten year seasons of the Show really produced some outstanding Talent..Fantasia.. Kelly..Clay.. Reuben..Carrie..Jordan..JHud..Kelly P. those are the ones who stand out..
Absolutely incredible performance. I always thought no one can come close to Luther singing the Impossible Dream but I must say, I was unbelievably impressed! ❤️
Im not even a fan but watched their season 20 years ago. I really enjoyed this chat. They have great chemistry and the questions were really good. I would love to see these two more
I can`t beleave it , i was living for my very first time at South CA. Long beach to be specific. And those guys were on the final Of American Idol. I love both of them performances from that time, i can`t realized how fast time had past. "20th years its kind of long , Congratulations Both of you guys. Amazing Voices together on the stage wil lbe fabulous to hear there. Big Hugs
Very enjoyable watching these two banter. The are definitely *genuine* and *down-to-earth* people and I'd love to see more of them. Someone in the comments suggested they co-host a show. I *co-sign* that suggestion.
Maybe it's because they are from the South, that they have this great friendship, which is just so wonderful to watch them together!!! So very Nice!!!❤️🎉🎉🎊🎊💫
I really enjoyed this chat between these long time ex-American Idol contestants turned friends and remember watching their season all those years ago! They don't have it on TV in the country I live in now and don't have one anyway, so I catch up via Facebook and UA-cam. I want Iam Tongi to win this year and love Lucy Love and We Ani as well. 😊
They have great chemistry together, would love to see them host a talk show together! Hope someone makes it happen! 🙌🏾

@cosmyquesoul8995 Ruben is married
I need them to have a show and just give commentary on everything going on in the world. Their juxtaposed chemistry is infectious.
Love the idea!!
Yes, love that idea!
Yes!😊
Great idea!! I’m all in!
Yes, they should have a podcast together.
Enjoyed seeing Clay & Reuben, hard to believe it’s been 20yrs since AI.. I’m glad they
have remained friends.. ❤️❤️.

Clay said "if my anti depressants weren't workin' so good i'd be cryin'" and I felt that to my core. They're so fun together.
He said it with humor but I think he's serious. I'm pretty sure he's on meds for anxiety. He's mentioned this in other podcasts and interviews.
They are simply the best. They are still humble not fake. Love them both. Best season ever
They need their own Odd Couple show. They are so opposite but click and got each other's back. Their chemistry is so genuine.

Clay and Ruben totally should be judges on American idol!
I'm pretty sure that would be the tiicket to revive American Idol.
Reuben has aged like a fine wine. Clay is still adorable too. I love that they are like brothers truly...we need more friendships like this in the world.
Clay needs to stop dressing himself. He still doesn't know how.
20 years??!!!! No. No. No. No. No. 😅
Despite my denial, so good seeing you all together! Thanks for the memories. ❤❤
I love both of them. I wish they could co-host a variety show together.
A Christmas variety show would be nice.
Clay I will never forget your version of bridge over troubled water. brilliant and especially as you were an amateur at the time. You both are so talented.
You can tell there actually good friends ❤
*they're
They NEED a show together! Please someone, get this going! I will watch!
Me too. How do we get them to consider this
They both look better now than they did when they were on American idol. I’m happy for them. God bless.
They have amazing energy! Glad to see both of them are doing well ❤
These two will be brothers for life. I cant believe it has been 20 years already!
No other show can do what American Idol did. I’m just glad I got to witness it ❤️
Love them. They need a TV show together. Like a 30 minute weekly reality show or variety show.
I do not want to see them on a show. They are too good for that crap. Put them on American Idol as judges or as coaches. Absolute superstars!!!

Don't forget Chris Daughtry. It was like watching a concert every episode and I still love Daughtry music today.
And Adam Lambert. They were all so good. I stopped watching after those early seasons.
Their chemistry is incredible!!! Love this brotherhood. It feels so authentic
I love how Clay kept encouraging his Mom to "come out" and see him!! 😉😍
Awww I love them together
These two are so damn wholesome. It's good to see them again laughing and talking with each other. These guys need their own talk show.
Both are such grounded and decent people. No wonder they've stayed friends for two decades. Way to go guys! 👏❤️
These two have the best friendship.
How great are these two people together - I love them!!!
I could watch this for an hour
Flying without wings hit that spot for me. Tears just flow. I love Simon Cowell, his honesty has to be respected.
This show was my childhood. The nostalgia is beautiful. Glad to see these two
Can we please see more of them please 😂
Stop it right now! 🥺🥺🥺 I have goosebumps watching this interview 🥰🥰 this era of AI was my all time favorite!
Ruben has aged well💯🙌🏾🙌🏾
Both their first album was wonderful. Clay’s Measure of a Man and Rubens Soulful. Yes, they do have great Chemistry together.
They need a podcast. They are a class act.
Great chemistry. Can tell they are really friends.
I love these two good seeing them 20 years later ❤❤❤❤❤ there music
I love them. Such a friendship
After all these years I still love these two together! I would love them to do a variety/sketch comedy show!
Watching them together was so touching.
I watched American Idol from the first day it came on. I love the both of them. They are both amazing singers and they are so humble.
Love them both 😊
I love clay Aiken he’s a amazing singer!
Sorry For 2004 will forever be an R&B Classic and Make Ya Feel Beautiful ❤
It was really nice seeing them together again I can’t believe it’s been 20 years.
I love these two! Both are Magnificent people!
Clay is so articulate and Ruben is so likeable!
I love they're touring together!
Ruben's weight loss. Been there. And I know how happy I've become after. Happy for him.
I love this!!😻🥰 Ruben looks so damn good and I had no idea(of course) he just came out to HIMSELF! Special guys there
Time has been kind to these icons!
Absolutely incredible performance. I always thought no one can come close to Luther singing the Impossible Dream but I must say, I was unbelievably impressed! ❤️
You both are just beautiful! I love your friendship and music! And you make me laugh! Simply beautiful!
Love them! This got me right in the feels. I was 12 during their season of American Idol! So many good memories ❤
This was a great interview. Their friendship was genuine, “friendship goals” as young people say.
Im not even a fan but watched their season 20 years ago. I really enjoyed this chat. They have great chemistry and the questions were really good. I would love to see these two more

This is great to see them together!
Love these 2 guys. Would LOVE to meet Clay Aiken. Have to admit he's my favorite. His voice is beyond AWESOME.
I really do miss them and their season….
Two nice guys, I love it! Glad to see they are thriving.
I absolutely am thrilled seeing these ❤ two ❤ guys! Brings back nice memories 😊
Love this. So fun. Clay is hilarious. I also love how real and honest Clay is.

I can’t believe that was 20hrs ago…my gosh time really flies by.
Clay's laugh ❤
I really enjoyed watching this. Love you guys. ❤
One of the best pair of finalists AI ever had.
Maybe it's because they are from the South, that they
have this great friendship, which is just so wonderful to watch them together!!!
So very
Nice!!!❤️🎉🎉🎊🎊💫
I don’t usually watch these things. These two are so sweet together. All y’all commenters are right about their chemistry.
The chemistry and the respect these two have for one another is almost like brothers.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. Keep it coming
I am so excited 2 c their show.
Wow! I really enjoyed that would love to see them again.
I think it’s awesome that these two became such good friends throughout all these years. ❤😊
Shout out to all the OG American Idol viewers, who actually watched all this as it went down. Good times
That was a great season! I loved both of them so much! 2 genuinely good guys and they both look great.
Loved this miss the early 2000’s you just had to be there man….
Exactly my thoughts when watching this too. That era was so specific and I look back on it longingly
This is wonderful! I can’t wait to see them to do a show together.
I really enjoyed this chat between these long time ex-American Idol contestants turned friends and remember watching their season all those years ago!
They don't have it on TV in the country I live in now and don't have one anyway, so I catch up via Facebook and UA-cam. I want Iam Tongi to win this year and love Lucy Love and We Ani as well. 😊
HOW IS THIS 2.0. Years AGO?! It feels like yesterday!! I LOVED both them so much!!
I love these two!
Love them both individually and as friends. So happy they have been successful
I watched their AI Season and it's great to see them together again!!❤
LOVE. BOTH. This was beautiful. And nostalgic
Glad to see Ruben was back and he looked fantastic!
Love seeing you two together as friends!
They seem like legitimately good people ❤ How refreshing
I love this between these two ❤❤
Have to say, I love them together. This warmed me up on a Tuesday. Love it!
i love both of these men!! I followed them on American idol, loved them both. If there could have been 2 winners it would have been even better!
This was the ONLY time I voted equally for both of them. This was real TV and I miss it!
I love seeing them together. You can tell the friendship is genuine ❤
I remember watching this as a kid and Flying Without Wings was and still is a tear jerker!!
🥰🥰 Love everything about this duo. I smell a podcast or a new TV venture with you both brewing. 🤗
they make a great duo!
They are so adorable
I miss old school Idol, these singers now a days are too much
