It’s not just your TV.

Harry Connick Jr., why are your hands always orange? And now your scruff is too. Cheese puff addiction or tanning lotion?

While Harry Connick Jr. is a hit on this season of “American Idol,” the audience continues to buzz about his unnatural color. Is it good makeup gone bad? Jaundice? A serious self-tanning habit? A love for Cheetos?

The ladies love ’em some Harry …

Again, why does @HarryConnickJR look orange on #AmericanIdol ?? He's still hot. Orange, but hot.

Earlier this month, the new judge scored with with a hilarious “photo” of his bronzer addiction, but that didn’t settle down the judges at home. Maybe this will do the trick?
