Munfarid Zaidi didn’t just meet his idol, Harry Connick Jr., on Wednesday’s season 13 premiere of “American Idol.”
He also got held by the new judge… twice.
The Pakistani-born 19-year-old, who now lives in Texas, kicked off his audition by revealing his love for Connick.
The singer-actor responded by getting out of his seat and lifting Zaidi in the air — and vowed to cradle the contestant if he nailed his performance.
Both men amusingly and amazingly held up their end of the deal.
“This is phenomenal. Give him his ticket,” declared Connick.
