Ryan Seacrest? Are you guys He's my lord. Uh Ryan is my lord and savior. Uh he he's omnipotent. He knows where I am at all times. It was the E network and now it's just Ryan. He is what I strive to be. I'm like a level four metro sexual. He's definitely like a level 19 at this point. He's so dang petite. It's just yeah.

Young Hollywood

He's more petite than you. What I don't like about Ryan is that he does not allow me to have eye contact with him. When I was an intern at E. There really was in the memo that you could not make eye contact with the talent.

The Soup's Joel McHale

Cuz I've seen some of those memos and I test the interns out every day cuz I'll be like, "How's it going?" You're out of here. And I'll be like, "Head bow your head." And then I'll go like, "How's it going?" And then and then if they speak, then I will say, "You're you're fired." I say and you have to say, "Permission to speak." And then I say, "Permission granted." And then they say fine.
