The variety of jobs that Ryan Seacrest holds — particularly these huge internet hosting gigs — has been marveled at for years. Between Wheel of Fortune (whose new season simply premiered on the 2025 TV schedule), American Idol, his American High 40 radio present and extra, I’ve all the time puzzled when the person finds time to sleep. Properly, somebody lastly requested him that query.
Ryan Seacrest’s second season as the brand new host of Wheel of Fortune simply began (with episodes now streaming next-day with a Hulu subscription or Peacock subscription) after taking up final 12 months from Pat Sajak. Regardless of the sport present including to Seacrest’s already-full schedule, he assures followers that he’s discovering time to get some shut-eye, telling Individuals:
I do sleep. Everybody asks me, do I sleep? It is like, I’m going to mattress instantly, and I get an excellent night time’s sleep. Nevertheless it’s fairly jam-packed in between the sleeps.
Along with internet hosting probably the greatest sport exhibits of all time and the opposite exhibits talked about above, Ryan Seacrest has additionally printed a kids’s e book, The Make-Believers, works with pediatric hospitals by his Ryan Seacrest Basis and hosts the weekly syndicated radio present On Air with Ryan, amongst different issues, so sure, one can see how his waking hours would possibly shortly be crammed.
It is smart, then, why he’d prefer to shorten the 15-minute breaks between Wheel of Fortune tapings to 9 minutes. Each second counts once you’re Ryan Seacrest.
As for falling asleep instantly to ensure he’s refreshed sufficient for the following activity-filled day, the New Yr’s Rockin’ Eve host has a trick. He mentioned:
I’ve a particular pillow I journey with. So all over the place I’m, I’ve obtained my very own pillow that makes me go to sleep fairly simply.
That’s a fairly good thought, given how essential it’s for him to get his relaxation. Again in 2020, followers thought Ryan Seacrest was having a stroke when his face drooped and his speech began to slur throughout American Idol’s stay finale. The host mentioned his viral well being scare was as a consequence of exhaustion, and within the years that adopted, he reportedly obtained higher at not overworking.
The truth is, a part of the rationale he walked away from Dwell with Kelly and Ryan was allegedly to keep away from the burnout of touring forwards and backwards between Los Angeles and New York.
Sleep is a vital a part of everybody’s well being, but it surely appears particularly essential to get that psychological and bodily restoration once you’re as busy as Ryan Seacrest is — to not point out the bodily toll Wheel of Fortune takes with contestants getting bodily with him, his propensity to hit the ground to point out off his breakdancing strikes, and chasing after big blocks of cheese.
I assume staying lively helps the host keep awake, and I can undoubtedly see how he can go to sleep the second his head hits his particular pillow. I hope he’s rested up, as a result of the brand new Wheel of Fortune season has simply begun — with that new wedge on the wheel.
