In addition to American Idol's eighth season premiere, Fox also announced that the fifth edition of Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen reality competition will premiere Thursday, January 29 at 9PM ET/PT. 

Fox's scheduling means Hell's Kitchen's fifth season will finally premiere nearly a full year after it was filmed back-to-back with Hell's Kitchen's fourth edition, which the network aired last spring.
