Ryan became a household name in the early 2000s as the host of American Idol and has gone on to make a name for himself as not only a television host but also an executive producer and a radio host … he’s even launched a skincare and clothing line.
After accepting the position as the host of American Idol in 2002, Ryan went on to executive produce and co-host Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve in 2005 and recently signed a multi-year extension to continue hosting the NYE event.
In 2006, Ryan signed on as a reporter for E!, hosting E! News and covering high-profile red-carpet events.
Possibly Ryan’s most notable work within the E! franchise was launching Ryan Seacrest Productions in 2006.
