American Idol's
Ryan Secrest Is Hot

With "American Idol," his radio shows On Air with Ryan Seacrest and American Top 40, as well as his many specials and award shows throughout the year, Ryan Seacrest reaches millions of American eyes and ears.
 
Seacrest began his broadcasting career aged 16 while still in high school as an evening radio host for WSTR FM. Seacrest attended the University of Georgia, where he majored in journalism, and hosted an afternoon radio program on the Los Angeles radio station KYSR, Star 98.7, from 1995 to 2003.

Ryan's first television job was as the host of The New Edge, a weekend morning show created by CNET showcasing new technology. Later he was a co-host, with MTV's Maria Sansone, of the syndicated Gladiators 2000. During college, Seacrest hosted ESPN's Radical Outdoor Challenge program; this led him to a series of television hosting jobs which culminated in the position as co-host of the hit reality TV series American Idol in 2002 with Brian Dunkleman. The following year, Seacrest became the sole host. In 2003, he also hosted the spin-off show, American Juniors.

In January 2004, Seacrest launched a daily entertainment/variety/talk syndicated television program, On Air With Ryan Seacrest. However, due to low ratings, the show was cancelled and aired its last episode on September 17, 2004. Also in 2004, Seacrest created a new sign-off phrase for himself, "Seacrest . . . Out", with hopes that it would become a catch phrase. Unfortunately, it was so poorly received that both the catch phrase and Seacrest became the targets of derision and lampooning; in 2006 he stopped using it.

 With all his up's and downs you don't worry about Ryan Seacrest. In January 2006 U.S. cable channel E! announced a three-year/$21-millon deal for Seacrest to host and produce various programs, including its red carpet awards show coverages
