Ryan Seacrest will officially host new 'American Idol' because time is a flat circle

Ryan Seacrest will soon be back to doing what he does best: Hosting American Idol. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the recently-announced host of Live with Kelly and Ryan will return to his roots as master of ceremonies for the singing competition show that got America addicted to singing competition shows.

The news was revealed by Seacrest's co-host Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly and Ryan.

"The show is going, we thought well and then all of a sudden we broke up," Seacrest said of Idol, which ended on Fox earlier this year and will next air on ABC. "I thought it would be great to get back together at some point."

According to THR, Seacrest was also instrumental in the rebooted Idol adding Katy Perry as a judge.

"You make that show. You are the heart and soul," Ripa told her co-host. "People really don't understand how difficult it is to be there, be supportive, keep the show moving at the clip that it moves and then back away when you need to back away…and step away when you need to step in…because you make it look so easy, no one understands how difficult it is. Only you can do it."
