Ryan Seacrest Falls Ill & Gets an ‘American Idol’ Host Replacement for a Day – Find Out Who!
Tonight’s American Idol episode will not feature Ryan Seacrest, who has hosted the show since season one.
The reason why? Ryan fell ill and needed a last minute replacement!
The person he called to fill his shoes was radio host and DWTS winner Bobby Bones!
“I am not Ryan Seacrest,” Bobby says at the top of the episode (which was taped weeks ago). “I am Bobby Bones. Sadly, Ryan is sick and I look most like him so they asked me to fill his shoes tonight. Ryan, love you, buddy, hope you get better.”
About his absence, Ryan said, “Bobby was kind enough to fill in for Monday’s episode which we taped a few weeks ago, and I’m thinking, you know, the guy stepped in last-minute, did a great job. What do I get him? I got him some shoes!”
Tune into the episode tonight on ABC!
