You are forever our family. We will never say goodbye to you. We will only say, ‘See you soon.’ I love you.”
Ripa also compared Seacrest to “an onion with all these layers. But, really, what you are is a blooming onion, because you are layers upon layers of goodness, of kindness, of charm, of brilliance, authenticity, and generosity. Your generosity is unmatched.”
“I’ve spent my entire career talking, talking on radio and talking on television,” Seacrest said. “Words are my bread and butter, my wheelhouse, but today it’s hard to put into words how deeply I’ve appreciated being here and being with you, being invited into your homes every day to try and deliver a smile or a laugh or two… I’m honored to be part of this family.”
Seacrest called himself “a very lucky man,” adding, “I want you all to know, it’s not lost on me how fortunate I am.” He later called his years on the morning talk show “a memorable ride and now I’m excited to pass the baton to Kelly’s ‘real’ husband, Mark.”
