Two things I found interesting:

"There's a real likeability factor with Ryan..."

quote:

TV Academy CEO Dick Askin said Seacrest appealed "to a broad audience..."

I'm assuming all research was conducted at the Seacrest home with his family.

You wanted, maybe, Billy Crystal?

At this point, I'd settle for Carson Daly over Seacrest.

Can't Ryan Seacrest ever take a day off!

Seacrest is terrible. But Carson is right where he belongs.

Don't they usually pick a comedian to entertain the guests and the audience? Ryan Seacrest is reasonably likeable, but his "jokes" always fall flat.

Now the host AND the presenters can have horrible jokes to read/deliver.

Seriously, I bet the presentation will be pretty straight forward. More focus on the award less on the "Jokes"
