I really love him he’s just out there doing his thing drama free. Seems like such a nice down to earth guy too.

[@AJJoers]

Ryans aged well 🔥

[@AvisWrentmore]

I have always adored Ryan... He's the Very Best at what he does - but such a great personality:)

[@jakeinator722]

Ryan is our Dick Clark of today. Host, producer, disc jockey, multi-tasker. Some won't admit but he is an American cultural icon and deserves the props he gets.

[@AndySaenz924]

Dick hosted the NYE events in NYC, and now he handed that baton down to Ryan. Ryan has also hosted the morning show with Kelly Ripa. He’s a hard working man!

[@BAMOORE94]

Ryan and Simon always had the best banter to me.

[@homaomar2914]

Ryan, it is so nice to see you on Live, again!

There are still a lot of couples out there who are married that long! My grandparents were married for 65 years and my parents have been married for 64 years!

Taylor Hicks . Wow he's looking good 😊

[@stacylovesart6352]

It's cool just to let Ryan talk (he's the one usually asking all the questions). He will keep climbing.

[@TinyDancerO]

@stacylovesart352, Keep climbing???? The dude is worth almost half a "BILLION" bucks Yes that's a "B" for BILLION. I think he's got his life panned out already.

[@jisundergroundfornow2548]

In the 21 years I've seen Idol.... Last night's panel with Alanis Morissette and Ed Sheeran was the best judging panel they ever created.

[@sandyhaworth4181]

Thank God for Ryan and the media centers! I pray Louisville Children's will get one. My 4 year old grandson is a heart warrior. He will have his 4th open heart surgery on May 31st in Louisville. #HLHS

Ryan Seacrest If you work very hard the group of hospitals for sick children are cancer, the radio group also the important family supports everyone very well and many congratulations for you Ryan Seacrest. Besides, I really like the Seacrest family together, married for 50 years, very father and God, if you know, the parents are the problem, but the therapy is very good! You want that as well, it's the perfect one!! Regards Kelly, Ryan also the Seacrest family .❤❤❤❤

Look at these 2 ... 21 years later on from their hair highlights lol still being awesome:)

[@wiiiz3]

Ryan is a likeable guy. I never understood why Simon treated him like an intern.

[@bryanmartin5901]

Bc they had the hots for each other, it was pure flirting. Everyone knows that lol

[@tylersmith9465]

Nice work 👍

[@shelleyproutt1090]

I love Taylor Hicks .I voted for him when he was on American Idol.❤

[@bryanmartin5901]

So you are the one that ruined that season. Good to know lol. Kat McPhee just ever so slightly more successful since…

@@shelleyproutt1090 I’m just being a jerk lol. My mom loved him too

[@NixBurkett1984]

My parents will celebrate 40 years next year. Whilst divorce and single rates are high there are couples who do go the distance. I love the Seacrest studios. If only they have something like that for kids here in the U.K 💗

[@Adeoca2]

Ryan Seacrest is this generation’s Dick Clark! ❤

[@lashendawest7509]

Great video

[@ravenblood999]

I like that Ryan is really a talker, they might’ve cut this interview to get shorter

[@haniapowalka6052]

I started to watch American idol so many times I know that Kelly clarkson was the first one to win the American idol so as Rubin fantasia carry underwood Jordan u went to see the American idol concert

[@laurens8623]

This was one of kellys best interviews as she didn't steal all the attention

[@mysublimechick]

Taylor looks great

[@ItsChelseaSymone]

I LOVE TAYLOR HICKS SO MUCH

[@michellem8284]

Is Taylor HIcks in Kelly's band?

[@mattberry4204]

"they've seen success from you (kelly), carrie, taylor or jennifer"........nobody thinks of taylor hicks as an AI success story

[@rainiercantre580]

Haha he would've probably said Adam instead of Taylor if he wasn't there. He was just being polite.

[@josephwear9572]

0:01 Uhh…is it just me or did Paul Hollywood join Kelly’s band?

[@shuinful1249]

That's Taylor Hicks. He won season 5 of American Idol. He does look like Paul Hollywood though

[@jak30341]

Who is Ryan’s husband?

A balanced plant based diet sustains/preserves/restores good health.

Wasn't the term "metrosexual" started because of Ryan?

[@nunu1869]

I enjoyed Ryan but his interview with BTS was..not his best.

is Ryan gay.........anyone.

[@Memopestanyas]

But. Is he gay or not ? (Real question)

[@danielstanley4416]

Why do people still ask this question (is the real question)

[@marthalisk303]

Who cares?

HUGS 🫂

[@fuckurbody]

20 yrs later and he is still annoying….. he is aging pretty well for a white guy tho … kelly is one of few contestants who is more popular than ryan. look at taylor hicks season whatever winner…. he is back to being nobody while ryan is going from strength to strength… kelly is just an anomaly, still riding high as popular as ever…
