After months of speculation whether or not Ryan Seacrest will return as the host of American Idol on its new network ABC. Right before Live with Kelly and Ryan aired, Seacrest announced that he was going to break some big news on the show. It did not take a genius to realize what the news is. Then a few minutes into the show, Ripa stole his thunder and revealed that Seacrest is in again.
When he got to talk about it, he said, “I don’t know if you’ve ever been in a 15 year relationship and then for a reason you that really don’t know you break up, You know, it’s like all of a sudden the show was going, we thought well and then all of a sudden we broke up. And I thought, ‘Gosh it’d be great to get back together at some point,’” That point is obviously now.
Seacrest also revealed that the show will tape in Los Angeles and the eliminated contestant will appear on Live the next day.
Am I excited for his return? No. I think they really needed to change things up because what they were doing was not working and that is why it was cancelled. Having Katy Perry and him on the singing competition is not going to get people to tune in and ABC really needs us to tune in. I do think people will tune in for the first episode, but after that they will be outer than Seacrest.
Are you excited for American Idol’s return or did you need to miss it a lot longer?
