I think he is a terrible replacement for Pat Sajak. I’m tired of seeing him everywhere. Vanna should have taken Pat’s place and a nice looking younger man replacing Vanna. A new host on Idol would be great, too.
I hope Ryan stays doing American idol he leaves I’ll probably stop watching if anybody should go off it should be katy perry he can do both he did when it was Kelly and Ryan he is just a amazing host
I agree 100% w/Patricia to PLS KEEP RYAN ON AMERICAN IDOL because the show would NOT be the same without his presence there. WE LOVE YOU RYAN!!! STAY RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE. YOU ARE SUCH A HUGE PART OF A.I. ANDBYOUR TRUE FANS WOULD DEFINITELY AGREE W/ME!!!
I think it’s great replacement .Ryan is an all around king of guy & does a great job.American idol would be making a big mistake .Ryan fits the role on both shows . Look what happened to Dancing with the stars when they took Tom off .Show lost ratings .Don’t mess with what’s working .
I don’t think Ryan should be replaced on American idol. I agree with others that it just would not be the same to not have Ryan as the host on American idol. We have had to go through all the changes with the judges. And I think the ones they have now are the best they’ve ever had. I think the way they treat the contestants is a lot better than all of the older ones in the beginning did. I know Katy Perry makes a lot more money than two guys do I don’t know why she deserves more than them. I think she controls the show anyway but I do love the way they treat everybody like their somebody. But that’s all for the subject. I hope Ryan stays on American idol I can’t see watching it without him. It’s like dancing with the stars when they lost their host and got that female host it just wasn’t the same. Now if he can do Pat sajak and American idol that would be good I love wheel of Fortune. But he’s going to do whatever he wants to do no matter what we say I guess. But it’s good to have a say just in case. Ryan please stay on American idol it just won’t be the same show without you. Please!
I think Seacrest should go to his home in California with his olives and chickens and stay there. I never watch idol, cause I can’t stand him. I’ve watched wheel forever and I won’t be watching it after Pat is gone..
Absolutely not. I love Ryan being on American Idol. He works hard and has given a lot of his life to this show and others. He will always be the best in my opinion.
I hate Katy leaving also. Show is working, don’t break it. 🥰🤗
Is Seacrest going to start anchoring the evening news too? Might as well; he has his finger in everything else. I’m with many others, give other people a chance.
No do not want to see Ryan replaced!!! He is the best host ever!!! I wish Katy Perry would stay as well!!! I hope they try to get Kelly Clarkson!!!! She would be awesome!!! Just saying. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep Ryan Seacrest!!!!
I think Ryan is a good guy. I hate to see him leave any show. People don’t like him because they find no dirt on him. I never heard anything bad about Ryan. Please don’t leave AI Ryan. My family loves you. Ryan is a hard worker. Most can’t handle as much as him. He can do it all and does a great job.
Love you Ryan Seacrest ❤️
Let’s all face it, Seacrest is great in every way and seemingly, a fantastic and kind man. Joining Wheel sb fun to watch him. He is a generational front man n host. Face it.. 22 years on Idil n years on New Years Eve show… Face it.. he’s ‘DA BOMB’ 😊
No do not take Ryan off of American Idol. Are you crazy!!!! You really do want the ratings to drop. He is the Best Host. Everything he has ever hosted has been awesome! He can do both shows. No problem.
It would be a tragedy to replace Seacrest on AI … also I think he’ll be GTEAT on Wheel with Vanna!! Negative Noras need to keep to themselves … just sayin’ Thanks!
I really admire Ryan Seacrest. He is a very talented host and should remain . As long as he can do both shows, be kind to workers and guests, he should be allowed to host. I admire a hard worker.
I’m a senior women that has looked forward to Am Idol each week. This year has been a true cluster flip. Too much time put into personal stories that most don’t care to hear. No more American Idol for me & HUSBAND. After all, it is a talen show, right?
So is Ryan Seacrest leaving Idol or not? This is confusing. If he’s leaving, I’m not watching anymore. We already know that Katy Perry is leaving, who are they going to get to replace her?
Ok Ryan, when are you going to stop leaving us! First, you skipped out on us on Kelly, and now American Idol? Oh well at least I watch Wheel of Fortune so you’re not going far. Can’t wait to see you on Wheel!
I think it would be a huge mistake to replace Ryan Seacrest …I am also Enjoying the Current panel of Judges as at times in the past one wasn’t sure who the next judges were going to be, It is nice to see the consistency with a bit of surprise/variety of guest judges sometimes.
It’s a career decision on his part. He is leaving because he has taking over being the Host for WHEEL OF FORTUNE! Pat Sajak
Is retiring in June. Ryan has accepted that new Role. Multi million dollar contract for years with residuals for years as well.
I’m senior women that has looked forward to Am Idol each week. I have watched American Idol since it began in 2022. I love Ryan Seacrest as the host. He makes the show fun to watch. If he goes, I will go too!
Gail
No
I think Ryan is sinomosis with Idol.
He adds a certain calming effect and celebration with the contestants, I think it a bit of instant reconition,and sprinkling of a positive human element with the talent.I would hate to see him go
Why after 22 years do you feel Ryan needs or evan wants for that matter, a co-host. He has done an Excellent job alone all this time! If it ant’t broke don’t fix it!!
But, then again ABC ALWAYS does this to its shows & ends up losing it’s fan base & viewers. Well, that will serve you right!!
Sorry but I have to agrèe if it’s not broke…let it alone!!! Ryan and American Ìdol are like, Warm apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream òn top. Ĺet him stay where he belongs
Ryan does a radio show and New Years Eve
If he is willing to do both American Idol AND Wheel of Fortune then that’s wonderful
Because it’s hard to imagine American Idol without him. However can also see the renewing life he will bring to the wheel. Hope he decides to stay and they don’t let him go at Idol.
I agree with most of the posts: Ryan Seacrest is THE host for American Idol.
Vanna White has been turning cards & pushing buttons for 40 years. She has NEVER communicated with the audience nor has ANY describable personality WITH the contestants or the audience. In essence, she’s a bore.
Dances With the Stars made the mistake of replacing Tom Bergeron as host and lost a HUGE audience. Take a hint AI… don’t do it!
No!! There is very little tradition or consistency these days. It’s a huge asset that Ryan is still host. Not only is he GREAT at it, it’s the only of the show that has been the same for as long as many of us have been watching. He makes us feel connected to the beginning.
It says “sole host”! Maybe Vanna is gonna join him. I think they would lost ratings without Ryan. He is too good at doing what he does. Please don’t take him away. He makes the show!
They are crazy to get rid of Ryan Seacreast. He is a big part of what makes the show. American Idol won’t be the same. I probably won’t continue watching the show if they take him off. Nobody can replace him. He is so caring and supportive of the contestants.
I love him on Idol but if he’s ready for a change, then he should get all the support from his fans that he can! He’s allowed to change his career and enjoy his new opportunities! I wish them all the best!
Comments for Update: Ryan Seacrest Immediately Axed as Sole ‘American Idol’ Host After 22 Years

I think he is a terrible replacement for Pat Sajak. I’m tired of seeing him everywhere. Vanna should have taken Pat’s place and a nice looking younger man replacing Vanna. A new host on Idol would be great, too.
Chris B
Vanna couldnt act to save her life and you want her to be a host of a game show where she has to speak?
Glenda Darter
I think Vanna is a lovely person. I think she could host any show she set her mind to. She’s a very intelligent woman.
Kenneth
Tired of seeing Seacrest everywhere. Give someone else a chance. Don’t you have enough money?
Joyce
Why can’t Ryan do both? Ryan is the face of Idol! He is great and will make a great host on Wheel of Fortune as well!
Mona
