The world is not enough for James Bond. Or Ryan Seacrest.
Days after being added to next year's Super Bowl lineup, the American Idol star and E! News anchor has been tapped to host next month's Primetime Emmys on Fox.
"He's a consummate host of major live broadcast events and a proven talent who always makes it look easy, which makes him the perfect choice for this year's Emmys telecast," Fox executive Mike Darnell said in a statement Monday.
Seacrest was already expected to be working the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards as host of E!'s Live from the Red Carpet. It's expected he'll still be part of the network's preshow coverage, but in a reduced capacity—no, even Ryan Seacrest can't be in two places, or on two TV shows, at once. (E! Online is a division of E! Networks.)
He's also up for an award as the Idol team wants again seeks to break The Amazing Race's chokehold on the Reality-Competition category.
The Seacrest hire gives the Emmys what the Emmys have wanted all along this year: A touch of Idol (and, presumably, a touch of Idol ratings).
Last February, Emmy organizers gave Idol executive producers Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick the keys to the show. But in May, Lythgoe and Warwick pulled out, citing their busy schedules.
As Emmy luck would have it, a busy schedule just happens to be Seacrest's specialty. And so the multitasking Idol host, who also anchors E! News, cohosts Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve, broadcasts a Los Angeles morning radio show, guest hosts on Larry King Live and probably does windows, too, adds Emmy host to his résumé.
Network synergy seems to be aiding Seacrest's latest employment surge: Idol, this year's Emmys and next February's Super Bowl XLII, for which Seacrest last week was named pregame entertainment host, are all Fox productions.

Posted: 8/20/07 at 2:02pmGood for Ryan! I know he's a popular punchline, but I actually like him quite a bit. We Georgia boys need to stick together!

Posted: 8/20/07 at 2:16pmI like him ok, but he is socially odd and sexually preoccupied.

I actually know of someone who has started a myspace petition to stop him from hosting the Superbowl festivities!
He is the Borg - he is everywhere!

He does get on my nerves a little, but I have always thought he was cute, frog eyes and all.
I really thought he would have come out by now though.

I wasn't familiar with that until now Taz, but my aunt says the photo looks phallic. I think it's funny. I always laugh at topiary!

Thanks Taz. You've got a good eye if I must say-I totally see the similarity!
As for Ryan, I've said in the past that he's a good host because he's totally BLAND.

Posted: 8/20/07 at 4:57pmDoes Seacrest have Satan's nuts in a jar or something?

Posted: 8/20/07 at 5:25pmI really don't get him or what his talent is. He's just this ubiquitous little annoying elf on tv and radio.
