It was better late than never for Nicki Minaj who missed the start of Wednesday's American Idol live show.
Minaj blamed infamously bad Los Angeles traffic for her delayed arrival and empty seat at the judging table as the Top Ten contestants battled it out.
'We are coming to you live and on time,' said a bemused host Ryan Seacrest to start the show.
'Say hello to three of your four judges who have made it here on time.'
'Say hello to three of your four judges who have made it here on time.'
Seacrest then sat down in Nicki's seat to explain her absence from the live show.
'So this is where Nicki…I hear she is seven minutes out and there is some congestion on the 405 [Freeway], she should be here momentarily.'
A laughing co-host Randy Jackson smirked 'I heard it was the 101 [Freeway].'
'Well the show must go on so lets get the party started,' said Seacrest as they pressed on without Minaj.
Fellow judge Mariah Carey appeared irritated and shook her head in disbelief as Seacrest introduced the contestants.
'Which one of you gave Nicki the wrong directions today? Which one of you drained the fuel from her car?' added Ryan.
A smiling Keith Urban, shook his head and simply said 'I don't know.'
