Ryan's interest in broadcasting began when he was chosen to recite the Pledge of Allegiance over his high school's PA system. His professional career began when he applied for an internship at one of Atlanta's top radio stations, WSTR/Star 94, at the







More age of 16. Initially he was turned down, but Ryan submitted a demo tape to the station's program director that was impressive. Ryan was offered the job as an on-air personality and eventually was given the 7 PM to Midnight shift. The show became one of the highest rated for the station and, all along, Ryan kept up his school work and even made time to play on his high school football team (he is a Falcon fan!)

He continued at Star 94 throughout high school and while attending the University of Georgia. During his freshman year in college, Ryan was offered his first television show hosting the daily sports game show Radical Outdoor Challenge for ESPN, which he did during the weekends while still attending college. In 1995, Ryan moved to LA to further his radio career as the afternoon drive time DJ on local radio station Star 98.7 and to pursue additional opportunities in the entertainment industry.

Those opportunities included hosting; Gladiators 2000, Wild Animal Games, Total Rush, Click, the E! red carpet premiere of Tomorrow Never Dies & Talk Soup. He is currently hosting The New Edge & NBC's Saturday Night Movie! He's also made guest appearances on Leeza, Melrose Place & The Dating Game. Ryan is very busy as he is still a DJ for Star 98.7, but when he's not, he enjoys running and working out. Although he eats out almost every night, he loves to cook and if his career ever fails, Ryan may go to culinary school! However, his career seems to be going in the opposite direction of failure, in fact, he placed #20 on the E! "20 Under 30" celebrity success list and was named one of Los Angeles magazine's sexiest things in the city!

    Ryan Seacrest is one of the most annoying, obnoxious, overrated, overused people in the industry. Everywhere I go, I hear his voice or see his face...I'm so sick of him! hide show

    Ryan Seacrest may be good at interviewing celebrities, but seriously, what other talent does this guy have? His face is everywhere, his name is on everything, and his voice is on my radio every afternoon. He's like a virus...he's spreading rapidly. He's overused and overrated! I'm tired of turning on my TV and his name is on every show as the producer or executive producer. His voice is on my local radio station in South Carolina every afternoon, and his face is on American Idol, E! News, everything. Before American Idol, nobody even knew his name...he was nothing and Now! Just Go Away already. I'm tired of you!!!!

    Ryan is Da Bomb hide show

    Ryan Seacrest is a cool person. He is funny, talented and kind of cute. Ryan has been a host for many events but he is most known for being the host on the show, American Idol. I think the reason why he hosts events so much is because he is so good at it. He also has his own radio show and I have listen to some of his interviews with celebrities he has on there. Ryan is pretty metrosexual but I dont care he is still a cool person. He seems really nice too. Ryan Seacrest is a personal favorite of mine. Keep up the good work Ryan!

    Here is a fine example of a superhero battle between Ryan Seacrest and Ryan Cabrera. Enjoy! Oh and by the way, this is just a fun joke, so please don't be offended by it. hide show

    Post start: -Ryan Seacrest and Ryan Cabrera stand on top of a cliff in Canyonlands National Park. They each hold a Z-shaped staff in their hands (We will call these Z-Staves from now on)- Ryan Seacrest: Heh-heh! You don't stand a chance against me, Cabrera! Ryan Cabrera: Huh? And why's that? Seacrest: Well! Because, I am a super-strong Earth Host and you...Heh! You're notning more than a wanna be pop-rock star who works for Comcast Rhapsody! Cabrera: All right! That does it! -Cabrera takes out his guitar and strums it once. A rainbow-colored spiralling laser beam fires out of Cabrera's guitar and flies at Seacrest. Seacrest tries to dodge this by flying into the air, like Superman, but the laser beam follows him and eventually hits him, and inflicts...Eh...A lot of damage, though I really can't estimate how much. Ryan yells in pain and falls to the ground. He then quickly stands up again and glares at Cabrera- Seacrest: Grr! How dare you make a fool out of me! Rah! -Seacrest charges at Cabrera and tries to do a Georgio Armani-Style martial art to Cabrera- Cabrera: Hyii...Ya! -Cabrera quickly blocks Seacrest's attack and starts using all sorts of martial art punches and kicks against him. Cabrera finishes his attack, by spinning in place, whist doing several roundhouse kicks against Seacrest. This final attack knocks Searcest out. Cabrera lets out a sigh of content and smirks at Seacrest- Cabrera: Ha! You just got ponwed by a so-called wanna-be rock star! Believe it! :Post end

    Most known as the host of American Idol. hide show

    Okay so he's cute and can almost get along with any body. So of course he got well known but none of that wouldn't have happen with out american idol. He knows that, i know that, and most people know that. Other wise when people be using his name we be like Ryan who. Sometimes he seems a little fake but in his business he always have to meet new people and doesn't feel cheer all the time. I think he won't quit the show unless they decide to firer him which i don't think they will. So he's average.

    Ryan's a cool host! hide show

    Ryan Seacrest is commonly known as being the host on American Idol. He does a great job. He can be funny at times, like when he has a feud with Simon. That is so funny! Ha ha ha! He visited Africa with Simon Cowell for the special episode of American Idol called, Idol Gives Back. That was such an awesome cause. He had a co-host during Season 1 of AI named Brian Dunkleman, or whatever his name is. I like him better than Brian. Ryan is also host and executive producer of On-Air with Ryan Seacrest. So overall, he is a great host for American Idol.
