Seacrest already does a morning radio show in LA and is under contract. Will he be waking up four hours earlier to host Today for the East Coast time zone as well? Also worth noting Seacrest tried and failed to host a daytime chat show years ago, and I don't think his status has elevated greatly since then. While I'm not a fan of the show, isn't the draw of "American Idol" the would-be idols? I always thought Seacrest as host was innocuous, neither adding nor detracting anything from the show -- he is just sort of there.
