Previously, rumors had surfaced that Enrique Iglesias was in the running for a host gig on the program, but nothing has officially been announced.

"The X Factor" will premiere in the fall on FOX. The winner of the show, which is currently auditioning contestants across the country, will take home a $5 million prize.
