This is not a drill: Ryan Seacrest is coming back to Live after making his official departure last month—but it’s only temporary
Per an exclusive report by People, the former morning show host, 48, will make a guest appearance on Thursday’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark to promote the upcoming season finale of American Idol, where he still serves as a host.
This will be the first time Seacrest has appeared on the show since making his official departure in April.
Back in February, the former Live host announced that he would be leaving the morning show after co-hosting with Kelly Ripa, 52, for six years.
Upon his departure, Seacrest was replaced by Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, 52, and the show was renamed Live with Kelly and Mark.
People also mentioned the American Idol host will discuss the Ryan Seacrest Foundation and how it is opening up a new location at the Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee.
According to the official website, the non-profit organization’s mission aims to “inspire today’s youth through entertainment and education-focused initiatives.”
