American Idol host

In 2002, Ryan debuted hosting a new Fox News reality series, American Idol, alongside Brian Dunkleman. However, a year later, Brian resigned, leaving Ryan as the solo host of the popular show until the end of its original run in April 2016.

When ABC took over the show, Seacrest announced that he would continue hosting the show. He said,

It’s been an incredible journey from day one. To be asked to return this year, at my new home at Disney|ABC, is an honor, if not a bit surreal. I believe ABC is the perfect home for Idol, and I’ve every confidence the show’s legions of fans will love it.

In mid-2023, long-time Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak announced that he would retire. A few days later, Seacrest took to X (Twitter) to share that he would take over Sajak’s role. Part of the statement read,

I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak.

In September 2024, he officially took over the hosting role of the popular American show. He co-hosts the show alongside Vanna White.
