Ryan Seacrest has yet another job to take on. Seacrest has been named the new host of “Wheel of Fortune” following Pat Sajak’s retirement, The Post has confirmed. Along with being the new host, Seacrest, 48, will also serve as a consulting producer on the show, according to a statement from Sony on Tuesday. “I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak,” Seacrest said in a statement. “I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for...

Jill Biden is helping to give Ryan Seacrest a send-off as he bids goodbye to “Live with Kelly and Ryan.” The first lady will appear as a guest on Friday for Seacrest’s final show, “Live with Kelly and Ryan” announced on Monday. Biden will help “celebrate Ryan Seacrest’s final day as co-host,” according to the show, and will also “talk about how April is the official Month of the Military Child.” The “American Idol” host announced in February that he would be parting ways with the morning TV talk show after six years alongside Ripa. He’s poised to be replaced...

President-elect Joe Biden and his wife Jill will make an appearance on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest 2021 on ABC as the pair continue to lap up attention from Hollywood ahead of his inauguration later this month. Deadline reports that this year’s show will feature Seacrest as the host for the 16th consecutive year from New York’s Times Square. Jennifer Lopez will perform as the event’s headliner minutes before the countdown, with additional performances from the likes of Billy Porter, Cyndi Lauper, Jimmie Allen and Machine Gun Kelly.

Suzie Hardy was a single mother with a preschool-age daughter when she landed a job as Ryan Seacrest’s personal stylist for “E! News” in 2007. The position provided good pay and a schedule that would allow her to pick up her child from school most workdays. But according to a November letter from Hardy’s attorney addressed to cable channel E!, its corporate parent NBCUniveral, and Seacrest, the job became an ordeal as Seacrest subjected Hardy to years of unwanted sexual aggression — grinding his erect penis against her while clad only in his underwear, groping her vagina, and at one...

NBC's coverage of the London Olympics may have drawn record ratings, but it has been met with an often derisive reception from many parts of the internet. While most of the criticism has focussed on the controversial tape delay, several commentators have now turned on host Ryan Seacrest, who anchors much of the coverage. Many have attacked Mr Seacrest's background in showbiz rather than sport, with one journalist describing him as 'a personality marked mostly by lack of personality'. However, the star hit back at the criticism, saying: 'You can't please everyone.'

Ryan Seacrest's much-hyped big NBC announcement finally arrived on Wednesday morning, but those expecting a major changing of the guard in morning TV were disappointed. Instead, Seacrest added yet another job to his stuffed resume, announcing that he's joining NBC's prime-time coverage of the Olympics in London this summer.

Yesterday Dana Perino suggested that President Obama’s scheduled interview with Ryan Seacrest was just the White House giving him something to keep him occupied on election day. Considering Obama opened the interview by thanking Seacrest for “taking the time” one wonders if she wasn’t making a good point. In the friendly nine minute interview Obama touched on the usual talking points, reiterating a number of times how important it is for young people to vote, that immigration reform is still a top priority for him, and that despite everything he remains optimistic about the country.

President Obama took his get-out-the-vote message to Ryan Seacrest's radio show in an interview broadcast Tuesday morning -- and it gave him an opportunity to respond to Jon Stewart calling him "dude" on "The Daily Show."

Barack Obama is to give an interview to Ryan Seacrest on election day, confirming his irrelevance as president at this stage in his first term. While Obama could have at least tried to help his party’s chances by appearing on a more credible network that reaches a much bigger audience than little old Ryan Seacrest (Don’t confuse him with Kelly Clarkson!), say, like Fox News, he turns tail and chooses to go on a laughable host’s trivial radio show. Despite the fact that the pro-Obama forces in the liberal mainstream media are spinning this ridiculous and cowardly move by the...

Yesterday we started the day bright and early with a stop at KIIS-FM in LA for an interview with Ryan Seacrest. It was so much fun to be on his radio show! I'll have more pics to post later on my interviews with Jay Leno and Carson Daly.

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Ryan Seacrest's new year is looking good so far. The "American Idol" host and radio disc jockey signed a deal with E! Entertainment Television that includes producing and hosting the channel's red-carpet awards coverage. Seacrest, who joined Dick Clark for ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve" on Saturday and has called Clark a role model, appears to be emulating the veteran producer with the three-year, E! contract announced Tuesday.
