$30 million dollars!!

Ryan Seacrest will be back as the American Idol host for two-more years, after signing a contract worth a reported $30 million!

The deal cements Ryan’s place for seasons 12 and 13.

While the judges seem to come and go, Seacrest has been with the show since it’s 2002 debut.

“It’s been a wild ride, and I’m excited for my journey with ‘American Idol’ to continue,” said Seacrest in a statement, calling it a “dream job.”

I think Ryan Seacrest is the only watchable part of ‘American Idol’ especially during the auditions!
