Will Ryan Seacrest Host 'American Idol' Reboot?

Is Seacrest out for good? Ryan Seacrest addressed rumors that he’ll host an American Idol reboot during the Monday, May 8, episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan.

In response to reports that the TV personality, 42, might star on a revival of the beloved singing competition series, Seacrest’s Live cohost Kelly Ripa voiced her full support. “I think this has to happen," she said. "I went into seclusion when American Idol was canceled. Are you going to host it? Please tell me yes."

Despite Ripa’s enthusiasm, Seacrest isn’t sure he is ready to juggle his new gig on Live with potential duties on Idol. "No, I don’t know about that part yet,” the E! News alum said. “We haven’t gotten that far. This was news to me last week. I had said at the end of the series, 'Goodbye for now,’ hoping somewhere it would come back."
