RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Chris Daughtry is looking to launch his music career after getting booted from ''American Idol.'' Fuel is searching for a lead singer after Brett Scallions quit.

The band offered Daughtry a job Thursday, hours after viewers voted him off the Fox television talent show.

Bass player Jeff Abercrombie and guitarist Carl Bell made their pitch on the TV show ''Extra.''
