    About this ebook

    Ryan Seacrest is an American television host, radio host and entrepreneur. Ryan Seacrest is probably best known as the host of popular singing competition American Idol. He is also Casey Kasem's successor as the host of American Top 40, the legendary "countdown" radio program popularized by Kasem and continued by Seacrest today. Seacrest's big break happened in 1993, when he landed the job of hosting Radical Outdoor Challenge on ESPN. One year later, in 1994, Seacrest began hosting Gladiators 2000, a children's spin-off of the popular athletic competition American Gladiators. Eventually, Seacrest was seen as the host of NBC Saturday Night at the Movies, answering trivia questions and generally "hosting" the popular theatrical films broadcast on the network. Two years later, Seacrest got the gig of a lifetime hosting American Idol along with his now long-forgotten cohost Brian Dunkleman.

      Early Life

      Popular radio and television personality Ryan John Seacrest has also become a powerhouse behind the scenes as a producer of such reality TV hits as Keeping Up with the Kardashians. He developed the desire to become a radio disc jockey at an early age. Seacrest listened to such DJs as Casey Kasem and Rick Dees growing up, studying and copying the way they talked during their shows. American Bandstand host Dick Clark was another important early influence.

      At Dunwoody High School, Seacrest wore braces and glasses and was fat and got teased about, he once explained to the New York Times. But I was always very ambitious. His first broadcasting job was handling announcements at the school. Seacrest then managed to land an internship at an Atlanta radio station, which led to his first on-air gig. He stayed with the station while attending the University of Georgia.
