Songland's Ryan Tedder: I was approached about replacing Adam Levine on The Voice four years ago

People

“I initially got pitched four years ago on potentially replacing Adam on The Voice because he was just tired. He was like, ‘I think I’m going to step off for a minute.’ They called to see if I would do it,” says the One Republic frontman, who now stars on the Levine-produced Songland, in an interview with Jimmy Fallon.  “And before I could even decide, they called back and said, ‘False alarm. He’s back on but we have this other show that you might be better for.'"
