[quote name=\''The Last Resort'\']He doesn't sing, he doesn't dance, he doesn't act, he doesn't direct, he doesn't play an instrument. All he does is open his mouth and regurgitate the same lines year after year: "Look at this incredible crowd! Wow! So many people!" It doesn't take much talent to do that...[A list of "pioneers" and old-school hosts] are also vets who came from the old school of broadcasting, when radio and TV were live - you had to think on your feet and speak eloquently because there was no editing to save you. None of them were super-talented, but they were genuine articles and pioneers in the industry, where Seacrest is basically an imitator at best. I just think it's a lot harder to do something when you're the first to do it. To me, Seacrest is neither original nor groundbreaking, so I just don't get the appeal. Maybe someday he'll prove me wrong, but IMO, he's just not there yet.[/quote]Sure, there will always be someone who is going to be the first to do something. But does that mean that, someone like a teacher won't have a difficult time performing his profession because there have been teachers for thousands and thousands of years?
And if Seacrest is indeed following in the footsteps of those broadcast legends before him by emulating and incorporating some of their styles, doesn't that make him someone who knows what he's doing because he studied the best?
Lastly, I'm not sure where this editing thing comes in. Excluding his old TV show and the Idol audition weeks, I don't think Seacrest often engages in anything that's not live, making his job even more difficult to do and showing how good he actually is when he's successful in doing it.
To me, your argument still pretty much boils down to "I don't like him."
