(antiMusic) If you're a bit underwhelmed by the current crop of American Idols, an old favorite is returning to your television screen and you won't have to put up with Paula to watch. Which favorite is it? It's the guy who's fans sent over dozens emails to let us know that their hero was going to be back on TV. That's right, it's Clay Aiken and he's going on a late night TV blitz to promote his new album.

Claymates will make a run on record retailers on May 6th, when Aiken's new album, 'On My Way Here,' is released and the following week he'll make two late night appearances to promote it.

First up, he'll head over to Burbank to appear on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on May 12th and then he'll make an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel Show on May 15th. We received conflicting information from the fans that wrote in about the Kimmel appearance. Some said Clay was performing and others said he wasn't. So we fired off an email to the show's publicist and she confirmed that "Clay Aiken is booked for an interview" only. The musical guest on that night will be Dierks Bentley.

She also kindly sent over a list of upcoming musical guests. Here you go:

April 22 � Paul Thorn
April 23 � Vampire Weekend**
April 24 � Ashlee Simpson**
April 25 � The Swell Season
April 29 � Cinematic Orchestra
April 30 � Def leppard**
May 1 � Stone Temple Pilots**
May 2 � Estelle
May 6 � Lyfe Jennings
May 7 � Lil Mama
May 8 � Gavin DeGraw
May 9 � Ludo**

** Performances will take place on the Pontiac Garage Outdoor Stage

"Jimmy Kimmel Live!" airs at 12:05 am ET/PT on ABC.
