Clay is one of only two non winners on American Idol to never be in the bottom group. The other was David Archuletta in Season 7. (edit)
Clay is set to guest star in an episode of Days Of Our Lives, where he will serenade characters Steve and Kayla with a song from his new album, as well as O Holy Night on the December 22nd episode. (edit)
According to the US Patent & Trademark Office's Trademark Electronic Search System, Clay had the term CLAYMATES (a word used in reference to his fanbase) legally trademarked. (edit)
In September 2006, Clay was appointed to a presidential committee by President George W. Bush, the President’s Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities. It was founded in 1961 by John F. Kennedy as the President’s Panel on Mental Retardation. (edit)
In 2004, the North Carolina Museum of history displayed some Clay memorabilia, an outfit that he had worn on American Idol for one performance. (edit)

Quotes

Clay (on Jennifer Hudson): I'm jealous, There was a point I was considered the most successful 'Idol' loser, but now I'm not anymore. I saw the movie Dreamgirls and she deserves the Academy Award, now I'm going to be in second place again. (edit)
Clay Aiken: It's very strange to think that after three years I don't often remember what life was like before this. And I think that that to some extent can be a downfall to fame. (edit)
Clay Aiken: It's kind of crazy to me that fans are still around. People come up to me and say 'You're the nicest guy in the whole world, we love you so much.' And I look at the people who work with me and go 'They obviously don't know me!' (edit)
Clay Aiken: (jokingly) I don't recognize myself right now. I still haven't gotten used to this whole thing. It's a process. The whole transformation from ugly to not-as-ugly happened very slowly. (edit)
Clay Aiken: It was hard to deal with at first because I was like, 'What? Clay-mates?' But, you know, you gotta love 'em. They're very loyal and supportive, so I'm very grateful. (edit)
