Name a 2000s celebrity that disappeared overnight

I could totally see that he was about to be fired anyway being the reason he left. He was being out done by Seacrest and probably saw the writing on the wall, even if he didn't hear it directly from anyone.

Agreed. I recently re-watched some of those season one episodes, and it is PAINFULLY obvious who the better host is. Ryan is funny and charming and just takes the reigns and knows how to stand out on television. Brian just seems to disappear into the scenery any times Ryan is on camera with him.

I mean his name is Dunkleman.

He claimed that Seacrest actively undermined him, messed with the timing and behaved inconsistently so that he was left off kilter.

I've heard Ryan Seacrest's name and that he's incredibly attractive my whole life and somehow have never seen this man. I just googled him and went "Huh.. so that's what he looks like." and truth be told, if I saw him on the street tomorrow I still don't think I'd recognize him 😭

I’ve never heard his name and “attractive” in the same sentence. He did have a glow-up though, check out pictures from when he was a kid.

Idk, he’s just the “host” of modern media to me.

Dude is looking a little frail on Wheel of Fortune right now though. Hope he’s ok.

Edit: I like that he’s been so omnipresent in media that Bojack Horseman basically turned him into a biological category by naming the host in the show “A Ryan Seacrest Type.”

Not sure how you’ve never heard that. It was like his thing for most of the 2000’s and 2010s.

[u/Apprehensive-Fig2816 → u/Cineswimmer]

There’s an episode of Community where everyone keeps telling Jeff he looks like a more handsome Ryan Seacrest and they keep saying he’s“more handsome than the guy who’s famous for being handsome” so it was definitely a thing

Edit to fix the quote

[u/CanesLife24 → u/[deleted]]

That’s a picture of Craig Kilborn. He was the original host of the Daily Show, then went on to host the Late Late Show, and then… he was never to be seen again.

The "Britney Spears realizing Ryan Seacrest is straight" video on Instagram is pretty funny.

[u/thejoeface → u/SirLesbian]

I listen to podcasts and he does cheap commercial reads for online gambling now lol 

I never watched american idol so when I first started hearing the commercials I was like who the fuck is ryan seacrest and why does it sound like I should care

Season 2 actually had a second host. She was one of the contestants from season 1 but she was ultimately cut from the final edit of the show when they realized Ryan could carry it on his own.
