Season two of The X Factor is just over a month away, and Simon Cowell’s revamped competition is missing one key element: a host.

The show has struggled to find a replacement for Steve Jones, who was dumped following a lackluster opening season. With producers reportedly seeking a male and a female to take the Brit’s place, Khloe Kardashian has moved toward the top of the list for the latter position.

And now multiple sources confirm that Glee star Kevin McHale is also under consideration for the gig.

McHale portrays wheelchair-bound high school student Artie on the Fox hit. He just co-hosted the Teen Choice Awards last month with Demi Lovato, so there is an X Factor connection already in place here.
