Randy Jackson
Musician and TV personality Randy Jackson has been a fixture in American TV. He is best known as the longest-serving judge on American Idol. He worked as a judge in the show since its premiere and remained until its 13th season. Outside of American Idol, he is heavily associated with the band Journey, and was the band’s bassist in May 2020. He is also a record producer who worked for labels such as Columbia Records and MCA Records.
Jackson has been quite conscious about his weight and health since the early 2000s. He said in 2001 that his weight loss journey was a struggle. He began to tackle the issue by getting gastric bypass surgery in 2003. Since then, he had lost an astounding 114 pounds, which greatly improved his well-being. A highly risky investment at the time, Jackson looks better than ever before.
