Ryan Seacrest returned to Live! and behaved in a strange way
Ryan Seacrest reunited with Kelly Ripa on the Live! With Kelly And Mark set to talk about all his free time and crawl around the stage
Aux News Ryan Seacrest
Maybe Ryan Seacrest is just one of those guys who needs to be working at all possible times. Of course, he’s still hosting his eponymous radio show and serving as the American Idol emcee. Yet now that he’s dropped just one of his many jobs from his roster, that of co-hosting Live! with Kelly Ripa, he seems to have way too much time on his hands.
Seacrest returned to Live! in a guest capacity to give an update to Ripa and her new co-host (and actual husband) Mark Consuelos. “I’ve got all kinds of time,” he told his old friends. “There’s this fascinating thing I’ve experienced called time. I don’t know if you guys know about it. The alarm chimes in the morning. It’s a soft nudge.”
Mind you, this man only quit last month. One might think he was enjoying the opportunity to sleep in (at least until he has to record his morning radio show), but instead he uses the extra time to walk “through the forest” looking “for the beans of coffee” to “harvest.” He is also still tuning into the show that he recently quit. “I have to say, I’ve been watching—you guys are so great,” he praised. “I love Mark doing the teases. I love the promos I see. I love the game.”
Things only devolved further when Ripa and Consuelos played a game to guess if the ex-host had “started an animal movement class” or if he’s “been studying dendrology, the study of trees” (!!!) with all that free time. As a clue, Seacrest began crawling along the studio stage like a creature.
Strange antics we’ve seen from Seacrest in his many years on television, but this may take the cake. A period of adjustment is only to be expected in retirement, although, again, Seacrest is not remotely retired. Maybe he’ll come to terms with having (part of) his mornings off; maybe someone needs to offer him another job lest he begin scuttling across the forest floor like a cryptid. Whatever the case may be, Mr. Seacrest, you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Truly one of the most inexplicably successful people in show business.
I’m sure it’s the usual trifecta of modern day success: a modicum of professionalism, a willingness to grind, and plenty of underhanded scheming. The guy definitely works a lot, and while I’m sure he’s probably got an ego to rival Steve Harvey, he probably offsets that by showing up on time and putting in the effort on long shifts. He apparently helped kick Brian Dunkleman off of American Idol by constantly stealing his lines, so he may not be above a little dirty pool as well.
Don’t forget he is handsome in an inoffensive way.

Let’s not overlook his whiteness and maleness
I think you’re correct about the trifecta. I’ve always been indifferent to Seacrest and any of his shows but I can’t fault him for his “willingness to grind.” He is obviously hardworking and highly motivated. The fact he was working on 3 different shows at the same time, when most people would only be able to do 1, is part of his success. He’s wanted to be the next Dick Clark and he’s putting the work and effort into that goal. I do wonder though if he kinda got trapped by his own mythology. Much has been said over the years about his multasking and hard-work, to the point it’s part of his brand. What happens to that brand when you can’t maintain that multitasking pace?
He’s basically a reliable Lindsay Lohan.
That’s our culture today, forgiving of phoniness and shallowness.
Snobbish people have always hated others for daring to work hard to be successful.
That’s our culture today, forgiving of phoniness and shallowness.When was the golden age when this wasn’t the case?
David Letterman pulled no punches.
And he was mocking a culture full of phonies.
No forgiveness towards phony or shallow. I miss when he would get that posture change and look in his eye, you could almost see his nostrils flaring as he went in for the kill. Also Jon Stewart, Samantha Bee, and John Oliver—-who is probably the best at it now.
That’s the human condition.
There’s a long list of those types.
The guy knows his audience and panders to them mercilessly. His Ryan’s Roses segment on his radio show is full of cringe, and always aggressively hostile to the men. Then he confidently always sides with the women. Add that to being white and decent looking (although he’s aged horribly), it’s a formula for success. I’ll also give him credit that he hustles, endears himself to the right celebs (begins with a K), and is mercilessly opportunistic.
I honestly think he could very well be THE MOST inexplicably successful person in show business. But I’m not going to give it a lot of thought.Dude can put on some big smiles, but I’ve not once seen them show up in his soulless eyes.
Did an AI write this?
Ryan Seacrest might be AI. Well, A anyway.
Yeah I honestly always assumed that when he wasn’t on camera he shut down into low-power mode and was stored in a broom closet somewhere at ABC studios.
Why you gotta insult AI like that?
It’s how most cattle are bred these days! They don’t actually have a bull mount the cows in those big factory farms.
Shittiest Mad Lib ever.
AI would do a better job than this
Strange antics we’ve seen from Seacrest in his many years on television, but this may take the cake.
Mary Kate, he’s on cocaine. He’s always been on cocaine.
but this may take the coke!
Agreed. This has shades of “John Mulaney’s last appearance on SNL”
If Seacrest shows up at the Live set unannounced demanding he get a free haircut from the crew, we’ll know.
Time on his hands indeed.
wtf is this People Magazine detritus
I guess Prince Harry didn’t do anything notable today?
Whut?
“This your club with nail in it. You will eat it. You will sleep
on it ! When Detritus say jump, you say… what colour !”
Slab: Jus’ say “AarrghaarrghpleeassennononoUGH”
I think it’s safe to say we’re all sick of this animated piece of cardboard.
You need to be more specific.

Wait, is that Hiram Lodge!? Well, this is a waste of his talents.
I fail to see how any of this is strange unless you took the first video very literally, which was obviously an exaggeration for how much time he has to make a cup of coffee. It may not have been a funny joke, but it was an obvious attempt at one, unless you really think workers are out there milking almonds. The walking around like an animal was a question they asked him to do. He didn’t just start crawling around for no reason. Maybe, you didn’t take it literally, and this article is itself some exaggerated reaction to his exaggerated joke. Meta, yes, but very confusing
Seacrest out! Of his mind.
