Ryan Seacrest Opens Up About His American Idol Legacy
Ryan Seacrest is the only original member left on American Idol. All of the OG judges have moved on to other things. He stayed with the reality show when it jumped from Fox to ABC. Season 24 of the show that launched several music careers premiered earlier this month.
In a new interview with PEOPLE magazine, Ryan Seacrest opened up about his legacy as host of the long-running reality show. “I haven’t thought about legacy yet,” he admitted. Since debuting as host of American Idol in 2002, Ryan Seacrest has branched out into other hosting roles and his own radio show.
“In terms of what I hope people expect from me, or get when I’m on any show, is that they feel comfortable watching it. They enjoy it. It doesn’t seem like it’s too difficult. They can have anybody of any age watch the show,” he said about his hosting style.
Ryan Seacrest had huge shoes to fill when he took over for Pat Sajak as host of Wheel of Fortune. His gaunt appearance on recent episodes terrified fans.
Wheel Of Fortune Fans Terrified After Host’s Gaunt Appearance
When Pat Sajak retired from hosting Wheel of Fortune, Vanna White had a tough decision to make. The iconic letter-turner and co-host could either retire or forge a working relationship with Ryan Seacrest. She chose to stay with the show and recently shared an exciting announcement with fans. She finally tied the knot with her longtime fiance.
However, her happy news was overshadowed by Ryan Seacrest’s shocking appearance. Wheel of Fortune fans have wondered for months what’s going on with the host’s changing looks. Many fans suspect that Ryan Seacrest has fallen victim to the Ozempic craze sweeping through Hollywood, California.
- “Ryan Seacrest looks really ill. Some say he is on Ozempic. What could be causing his gaunt and unhealthy look?”
- “This phenomenon of normal sized people abusing Ozempic is disgusting”
- “His facial profile looks very different. Seriously questioning if that’s even him.”
- “He looks like a sick elderly man who came to a show after being home for 50 years!”
- “Ryan is not aging well”
- “Saw this guy on wheel of fortune and thought it was a skeleton until 5 minutes in.”
- “If he looks that thin on tv, just imagine how thin he actually is.”
- “that looks like something more than being on a GLP. I hope he’s okay.”
Ryan Seacrest hasn’t addressed the public speculation about his health. However, his father died a few months ago, which might explain his thin appearance. Tell us in the comments if you think Wheel of Fortune viewers are right to be concerned.
