Ryan Seacrest has been with American Idol since its launch a decade ago and he plans to remain with the talent search program until it goes off the air, or so it seems.
Seacrest has hosted the show since its launch in 2002 and though the judging panel has undergone a series of overhauls over the past four seasons, the genial entrepreneur has been the one constant in the mix. "Ryan is one of a kind," said Mike Darnell, President of Alternative Entertainment at Fox. "His ability to engage the viewers, keep the contestants at ease during intense moments and adapt to any situation, especially during the live shows, solidifies him as the absolute best in the business. He is an integral part of why 'American Idol' is a true phenomenon, and we can't imagine doing this show without him."
