We know Ryan Seacrest, arguably better than we know our own friends and family! The TV presenter is at every red carpet, every New Year's Eve ball-drop and on every American Idol episode!
So as millions of fans tuned into the American Idol finale this past weekend, many were quick to notice that something didn't seem right with their beloved TV host.
I WON'T SAY WHO WON HERE IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT, BUT PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CHECK THAT OUT NOW!
It was a very controversial choice.
This meant that fans were getting a much more intimate and unedited version of the live finale than usual!
It's a lot of awkward silences, pauses and technical difficulties AND YES, I KNOW, THEY'RE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN!!!
......... But it's still awkward, lol.
It was the first TV performance of her new single, "Daisies," and it was magical!
The TECHNOLOGY! We're living!!!
The clip that began circulating was one with Ryan slurring a few of his words and hanging his head.
His one eye also seemed to be closing.
Naturally, fans were worried that the usually upbeat TV host seemed to be disoriented and uncomfortable.
"Did Ryan Seacrest have a stroke? I’m worried," tweeted one fan.
Now, his rep is speaking out about the incident and is assuring fans the 45-year-old is totally okay!
"My wife has watched American Idol since the year we got married. So, I watch American Idol. I get into it every year... I have no idea what we just watched. Something was wrong. Seriously I hope Ryan Seacrest was just drunk," wrote Twitter user Brad Shepard.
"Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home."
"Between Live with Kelly and Ryan, American Idol, On Air with Ryan Seacrest, and the Disney Family Singalong specials, he has been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and he’s in need of rest."
We're glad to hear Ryan is doing okay and is getting the much needed rest he deserves!
