Ryan Seacrest Hosts Heartwarming Farewell Dinner for Live with Kelly & Ryan Crew | Final Episode Tribute

Ryan Seacrest has bid farewell to the cast and crew of Live with Kelly & Ryan with a heartwarming farewell dinner. The TV host, who took over as Michael Strahan's replacement in 2017, officially announced his departure in February, leaving his spot for Kelly Ripa's husband, Mark Consuelos. Before his last show, Ryan hosted a special dinner for the Live team, where he expressed his gratitude for being part of the show for six years.

During the event, Ryan gave a speech where he shared his experience working with the team, emphasizing how unique the Live show is. He said, "There really is no other place in our business like the Live show. I’m grateful to have been a part for six years." He then jokingly mentioned some of the things he would miss, including the show's legendary Halloween episodes and even sharing the bathroom with everyone.

As he bid farewell, Ryan had a special message for Mark Consuelos, his replacement on the show. He congratulated Mark and expressed his excitement for the new host. Ryan said, "My brother, Mark. Congratulations. It’s wonderful to go through this process with somebody that I love so much that obviously, I know, knows her better than I know her… ish. But congratulations. I can’t wait to watch… or tape it, sleep in and watch. Probably that, but congratulations, Mark."

Ryan concluded his speech by thanking the Live team for including him in the group and admitting that he was nervous when he started. It was a touching moment for everyone who had worked with Ryan over the years.

Ryan Seacrest's generosity and heartfelt farewell dinner show just how much he valued his time on Live with Kelly & Ryan. The show has been a staple in daytime television for years, and Ryan's departure is undoubtedly a significant loss. However, with Mark Consuelos stepping in, the show will undoubtedly continue to thrive, and fans can look forward to seeing what the new duo has in store.
