Ryan Seacrest Rocks The Muppets Mayhem on Disney+ Following Live! Departure

We have some exciting news to share with you. Our favorite American Idol host, Ryan Seacrest, has expanded his career to acting now that he no longer hosts Live! with Kelly Ripa. The official American Idol Instagram account recently broke the news that Ryan would be appearing in a new Disney+ series, The Muppets Mayhem. And guess what? The first episode just dropped!

The Muppets Mayhem: A Rocking New Series on Disney+

On Wednesday, the Idol Instagram page shared a promo snap of The Muppets Mayhem, featuring a smiling Ryan Seacrest, 48, positioned next to a Muppets Mayhem all-access guest pass in a Polaroid frame. The caption revealed that Ryan and former Idol judge Paula Abdul, 60, would be making a cameo in the show.

The caption read, “No one rocks harder than @PaulaAbdul and @RyanSeacrest… except The Electric Mayhem! [rock out sign] Catch them in #TheMuppetsMayhem, now streaming on @DisneyPlus! @TheMuppetsMayhem.”

Fans Eager to See Ryan in a Scripted TV Series

Fans were thrilled to see Ryan Seacrest make his return to acting, especially since they no longer see him every morning on Live! with Kelly, which he hosted for six seasons. Kelly Ripa now hosts the show with her husband, Mark Consuelos.

Controversial Behavior on American Idol

News of Ryan Seacrest’s return to acting came after fans insisted that he change career paths following his controversial behavior toward two Idol contestants on-air. Some viewers accused him of being “nasty” and “brutal” while telling contestants they hadn’t made it into the top 12 in a recent episode.

Cooking Show Suggestions from Fans

Last week, Ryan Seacrest’s followers suggested he start a cooking show after he shared a video of his recent trip to an upscale Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. He documented his visit to Javier’s and gushed over the various dishes, including ceviche, tacos, and enchiladas.

The media personality encouraged fans to head to the restaurant to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. In response, fans flooded the comments of his video, suggesting he try his hand at hosting a cooking show.

The calls for Ryan to explore new career paths come after American Idol viewers urged him to quit the show. Despite the recent criticism, it seems like Ryan is exploring new avenues and making a comeback with his appearance in The Muppets Mayhem.
