Ryan Seacrest Will Return As 'American Idol' Host

(Radio.com) Ryan Seacrest will return to host the ABC reboot of American Idol. After months of negotiations, the original host of the reality singing show will return to the franchise that made him a household name, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Seacrest used his Live with Kelly and Ryan platform to make the announcement Thursday morning (July 20), where he insisted that it was "absolutely" confirmed, "without a doubt."

Talking about the show, Seacrest likened his return to giving a "15-year relationship" another shot. He continued, saying, "The show is going, we thought well, and then all of a sudden we broke up. I thought it would be great to get back together at some point." Read more here.
