“I know Ryan—he is professional, he's good at what he does, he's kind. I think it's going to be good. He's such a nice guy, and he loves what he does. He said, ‘Look, I am not replacing Pat. I'm not going in to try to fill Pat's shoes. No one can ever replace him,'" she told People in October 2023.
As for whether Seacrest has any jitters about taking over his new hosting venture, he shared with People at the Hulu on Disney+ celebration that he hopes "to do a great job."

"So do I feel pressure? Sure. People love watching him. I want them to keep love watching it, and I hope to do a great job as well," he added.
