Bones will also be seen on the second night of ABC's NFL Draft coverage, FRIDAY, APRIL 26 (7:00-11:30 p.m. EDT). Their appearances were announced tonight on ABC's live "American Idol" telecast from Los Angeles.

"Good Morning America"'s Robin Roberts and ESPN's Rece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit and the entire College GameDay Built by The Home Depot eight-time Emmy(R) Award-winning crew will headline night one of ABC's coverage of the NFL Draft.
