Ya know what? Good for him.
Say what you will (the global "you", of course, not you specifically, Randy) about him being flavor of the month, light in the loafers, or whatever else you want, but because of various and sundry burps in the television schedule, I have had occasion to watch American Idol. Don't particularly care for the way the contestants perform, the fact that they were singing songs from their birthyears had liver spots exploding on the back of my hands, but I was entertained.
Because Seacrest is a GOOD HOST. He's snappy, he's comfortable, he moves things along, you can tell he's pretty much winging it (or at least makes it look like he's winging it, which is even better). If I had a show to host, I think I would pretty much wanna do it like he does.
So it's good to see that good works are being recognized.

Absolutely. I enjoyed watching Click on Sunday mornings for the two season that it was on. I didn't know who Ryan was when it first premiered (Damn cable company had dropped Family Channel in 1993, after I had only seen a handful of Trivial Pursuit eps), but I thought he did a decent job. Hell, I'll go as far as to say that I'm one of the few who actually liked his show "On Air" that aired last season. I'll also go as far as saying that Bill Cullen is looking down on this accomplishment of Ryan's, smiling at his predecessor in the entertainment field.
