While hosting Idol is the gig Ryan is best-known for, he’s involved in so many projects that it’s hard to believe he ever has any time to himself. He’s the executive producer (and co-host) of ABC’s Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, the host of KIIS-FM’s On Air with Ryan Seacrest, the Ryan-half of LIVE with Kelly and Ryan, and the producer of Keeping Up with the Kardashians (and its spinoffs), as well as many, many other reality series.
He has a clothing line. He has a skincare line. He launched a whole dang nonprofit called Ryan Seacrest Foundation. It’s like Ryan Seacrest wakes up every day and thinks to himself, “Hm, what industry should I take over next?” and then he just does it.
Ryan Seacrest’s career is one of good old-fashioned hustle. He found his passion, pursued it, and watched his hard work pay dividends. The best part of Ryan’s success is that he seems like a truly, genuinely nice guy. So even though we might be just a smidge jealous of his oodles of fame and fortune, we certainly can’t say he doesn’t deserve it. Wonder what project he’ll conquer next!
