The season 18 finale of American Idol aired Sunday night on ABC, but the talk of the town wasn’t about the winner but instead about host Ryan Seacrest.
Fans are concerned because Seacrest struggled to read his script during the broadcast and his right eye appeared to be swollen by the end of the show.
In addition, Seacrest was MIA from Live with Kelly and Ryan Monday morning.
A rep for Seacrest told People, Ryan did not have any kind of stroke last night. Like many people right now, Ryan is adjusting to the new normal and finding work-home balance, with the added stress of having to put on live shows from home.
In addition, the statement said, Between Live with Kelly and Ryan, American Idol, On-Air with Ryan Seacrest, and the Disney Family Singalong specials, he has been juggling three to four on-air jobs over the last few weeks and he’s in need of rest.
