Ryan Seacrest posted a statement about Ellen DeGeneres leaving American Idol on his Twitter. He is sad to see her go.

“Spoke with Ellen DeGeneres tonight. I will miss her on ‘Idol,’” he Twittered Thursday. “She’s one of the kindest and most talented people in Hollywood!”

According to sources Ellen has been wanting out for a while. She still hosts her daytime talk show which made her schedule, “more than I bargained for.” She knew she didn’t make a good fit with the show.
