Cowell launched The X Factor in the UK in 2004, and the competition series ran for 15 seasons. It ended the run in December 2018.
The show has had two spin-off series — The X Factor: Celebrity and The X Factor: The Band. The show launched the careers of several artists, including One Direction, Little Mix and Leona Lewis.
The US version of the show was launched in 2011 on Fox, with Cowell serving as judge alongside Paula Abdul, Cheryl Cole and L.A. Reid.
