Live! With Ryan And Kelly Ratings Crash! Is It Seacrest’s Fault?

Lauren

I know the reason! Been saying it since day 1…..
Ryan and Kelly are too similar. Ryan kind of follows Kelly’s lead and acts just like her…. it’s weird. (Too goofy and feminine)
Kelly was great as comedic relief with someone more serious like Regis.
It needs the ying and the yang. And Kelly shouldn’t be the main host.
David letterman, Conan O’Brien Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford…. they would all provide the ying.

I was a fan of Live when Regis and Kathie Lee Gifford owned my attention. I even liked Regis and Kelly.
Now I have difficulty watching the show period. Kelly and Ryan are a poor match. The show is boring from start to finish.
Kelly talks too much about herself and her family including her husband Mark.
Ryan is just plain Boring ZZZ Crest.
They no longer dress for the show and Ryan is too lazy to shave.
Ryan’s clothes are too small for him and he is constantly tugging on the front of his suit jacket as it creeps behind him and you can see he could never button the jacket.
There is no entertainment value to the show and no information worth hearing. For the money these two are paid you would think they should have more talent.
For that kind of money you would think they should have to entertain.

What a complete waste of money.

The only Co-Host that will save this boring show is Wanda Sykes. Get her now!
Ryan is dull “White Bread” Snoring! They could use her just for Fridays and still have better ratings in 1 day than all week with Ryan (Bland) Seacrest.

Maureen

Stopped watching the day he came on. Was really hoping for Jerry O’Connell!! Ryan Seacrest was the worst choice!

Tina

I have to agree with all of these comments. The chemistry is NOT there at all with Kelly and Ryan… I am so bored watching it. Heck, I could do a better job at the gig. Jeesh, and Ryan is getting paid how much a year for this?! ABC what a bad decision on your part…almost as bad as NBC bringing Megyn “Racist” Kelly on the Today Show in the fall…urghhh

Barbara

Ryan Seacrest was a bad choice for this show. Ryan seems to be a nice guy, but unfortunately isn’t interesting nor funny. Who made this bad decision?? After faithfully watching this show for many years, I stopped taping it.

Mmoore

Ryan is the most boring, insecure person ever. Nothing interesting to say and zero chemistry. Jerry O’Connell is so entertaining and hilarious..like Strahan, he was just so easy to like and just genuinely enjoyed watching him. Every morning is cringeworthy watching kelly and ryan interact.

Meredith Pedroza

I definitely don’t think Kelly Ripa is worth the $20 million a year she makes, and she does strike me as, “It’s my way or the highway” type. However, at least she has a personality! Ryan Seacrest IS the most overpaid, under talented person EVER! If Kelly wanted to have any chance of keeping Live, Alive, she should have picked Jerry O’Connor as her co-host!

John

Ryan’s boring and annoying on Kiis Fm & I don’t listen to that station because of him. So I don’t watch anything that has him on.

Liz Sands

I have been s loyal Ripa fan for years – do NOT like show with Seacrest- he is just not good at it!! Jerry would have been way better choice. AND RIPA MADE STRAHAN LOOK GOOD, he was just another jock til he got Live!!

M

Yes. I think he’s just there for idol. I think he’s going to leave as soon as that… Reboot, starts. Whatever it is. Why is it even a thing? It just went off the air.

AWFUL!!! My gut tells me this was not a Kelly or Ghelman decision. This was by the boys or girls UP in the BOX. And it smelly ABC it’s SMELLY.

Niki

I like Ryan but not on this show. I don’t care for Kelly. She is overly pretentious and is constantly “trying” too hard. Her and Ryan do not
work together. Their relationship seems fake and forced.
Michael Strahan was fantastic and carried the show. He could hold his own and did not need Kelly.
He was fun to watch and listen too and actually turned out to be a really
good at the job. Kelly is only into herself.
I think it’s time for ABC to move on and do something else with the prime time morning spot.

Erica Guzman

I’ve been a fan of Kelly Ripa since All My Children, close to 30 years ago. I was a faithful viewer of Live since she joined Regis. I am sorry to say, that o can’t watch the show anymore. I’m not a fan of Ryan Seacrest at all. I avoid any show he hosts. I think he’s the most overexposed and untalented “celebrity”. Look at what he said to Jeffrey Tambor..Most interviewers do some homework, and make sure they know what the interviewee has been on. I won’t watch the show, as long as he’s on it. He’s way too irritating.

Tony

Ryan Seacrest is one of the most annoying personalities on television. He has no personality or charisma.

Diane

Kelly drops in for a cup of coffee every morning. She brings some friends along. She’s fun. I wasn’t happy with Ryan, but am trying to give them a chance. I’m sad that I don’t enjoy the show as much. I don’t give up on my friends.

Janice

I can’t believe they picked Ryan for that show. I quit watching because of him. Never have liked him. Love KELLY and I think she should have a better co-anchor.

Dave

I think she is a loser and has been carried by her co-hosts, Regis, Michael, and all of the temps. She has absolutely no talent and thinks she is God’s gift to morning television. I suspect that behind the scenes she is just a conniving b####.

Joanie

Watched the show daily.
Was funny, many of co-hosts had good chemistry with Kelly and they were funny
Ryan is not funny, not entertaining, not attractive in any way.
What is with his no socks look?
They need to do something. Show just plain stinks

Lisa

Kelly Ripa is boring and not funny – not even entertaining. They should replace her.
I stopped watching a while ago. Co-hosts need to have chemistry – they don’t seem to have any. The show needs to be reinvented. Not good anymore.

Donna Boyer

I have never cared for Kelly Ripa , but adore Ryan. She is just too bossy. And really a nobody. Get Ryan a new partner. Things will improve quickly. I only started watching the show since he began. I liked Michael Strahan, and watched him once in a while and all his other shows. Just not her.

Linda Davidson

I live in Washington state but I’m from New York. Ryan doesn’t seem to like New York. He’s not fun or pleasant and I stopped watching after the first show. There are plenty of other morning shows that are more fun to watch. Bad choice.

Gale

Ryan Seacrest isn’t as entertaining as some of her guest host.

Terri Pangburn

I think that all the negative remarks have had an affect on ratings . Not to mention, in my opinion Ryan Seacrest has no sex appeal at all. There were so many better choices. It’s ashame you didn’t consult your audience.
